Note to Lance Armstrong: This is a new low for you. Forget admitting to Oprah Winfrey that you are a lying cheat. Forget breaking that same news to your 13-year old won. Charlie Sheen – yes , that Charlie Sheen – thinks you are a “creepy douche.” Those were the words Sheen used to described the disgraced cyclist during an appearance on The Tonight Show yesterday, although he seemed more upset that Armstrong blew him off in person awhile back than that whole performance-enhancing drugs thing. Watch Sheen explain now: Charlie Sheen on Lance Armstrong
The balls on this guy! Lance Armstrong plotted to use his cancer diagnosis as a defense if he was ever questioned about using steroids! Via NYDailyNews reports : A former teammate of Lance Armstrong testified in a sworn affidavit that Armstrong planned to use his testicular cancer as his “card to play” if his doping sins ever caught up with him, according to a source. Jonathan Vaughters, Armstrong’s U.S. Postal teammate, said in his affidavit that Armstrong blamed the spread of his cancer on the fact that the International Cycling Union (UCI), the sport’s governing body, didn’t detect high levels of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in Armstrong’s body when it tested the cyclist. The drug, known as hCG, is taken by males who are steroid users to boost their natural testosterone levels and prevent testicular atrophy. According to a Daily Mail report, which printed portions of Vaughters’ affidavit, Vaughters said that during a U.S. Postal training camp, “I had a conversation with Lance in which he told me that the UCI should have detected a high level of hCG in his doping controls when he had cancer but failed to do so . . . Lance said, ‘If I ever have a doping problem, I have this card to play.’ ” Last week, Armstrong admitted to doping during his two-part interview with Oprah Winfrey, and said the PEDs were behind his seven Tour de France victories, titles which have since been stripped from him by the United States Anti-Doping Agency. USADA’s reasoned decision on Armstrong, released last year, includes information from numerous affidavits from his former teammates. Armstrong told Winfrey that he did not think PEDs were responsible for his cancer, which he was diagnosed with and battled before his Tour victories. This guy truly ain’t isht! Just think about all those people fighting cancer who thought this guy was a hero, when he was actually a zero! SplashNews

Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes. That was the word that came flowing out of Lance Armstrong’s mouth in his much-hyped sit-down with Oprah Winfrey tonight, as the disgraced cyclist admitted in multiple one-word answers that YES, he used performance enhancing drugs in all seven Tour de France races he won. Lance Armstrong Admits to Drug Use From EPO to testosterone, cortisone and human growth hormone, Armstrong confirmed that he took it all, despite numerous brazen and bullying denials over the years. Why come clean now? “That is the best question,” he replied. “It’s the most logical question. … I will start my answer by saying that this is too late. It’s too late for probably most people, and that’s my fault. I viewed this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times, and as you said, it wasn’t as if I just said no and I moved off it.” Admitting he’s a “flawed character,” Armstrong said “all the blame here falls on me,” adding a qualifier: “But behind that picture and behind that story is momentum. Whether it’s fans or whether it’s the media… it just gets going. And I lost myself in all of that. I’m sure there would be other people that couldn’t handle it, but I certainly couldn’t handle it, and I was used to controlling everything in my life. I controlled every outcome in my life.” Armstrong went to deny the USADA’s classification of his program as the most “sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping” campaign in sports history. “It definitely was professional, and it was definitely smart, if you can call it that, but it was very conservative, very risk-averse, very aware of what mattered,” he said. “One race mattered for me. But to say that that program was bigger than the East German doping program in the ’70s and ’80s? That’s not true.” So, where do you now stand on Lance Armstrong? Do you forgive his drug use? Yes, he came clean No, why would I? View Poll »
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has stripped Lance Armstrong of the bronze medal he won at the 2000 Sydney Olympics in the wake of his doping scandal. A letter sent to the disgraced cyclist Wednesday, just 24 hours before the interview in which Lance Armstrong admits doping airs on OWN, asks for it back. The IOC did so after the 41-year-old legend failed to appeal a decision by the International Cycling Union stripping him of his seven Tour de France titles. Cycling’s governing body, citing a wide-ranging report from the U.S. Anti-Doping Administration, disqualified all of Armstrong’s results dating back to 1998. Armstrong was given 21 days to appeal; he did not, but did not offer an admission of guilt – until this week’s sit-down with O – saying he simply wouldn’t appeal. “We were waiting for confirmation from the UCI that he hadn’t appealed against his disqualification,” an IOC spokesman said of its decision to reclaim the medal. The first installment of an extensive interview Armstrong gave Oprah Winfrey earlier this week is set to air tonight only on OWN. You don’t want to miss it.
It has been confirmed by the Associated Press: In an interview taped tonight with Oprah Winfrey, Lance Armstrong admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs during his days as a professional cyclist. Lance Armstrong Admits to Drug Use: Report The rumor of such an admission has been circling for days, with Armstrong apologizing over the weekend to members of his Livestrong foundation. It remains unclear exactly what Armstrong told Winfrey – the interview airs on OWN Thursday night – which will be important in terms of the lawsuits that have already been filed against Armstrong. The former world champion was stripped of all seven Tour de France titles last year after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a 1,000-page report that painted him as a drug user and drug pusher, someone who manipulated the system and pressured fellow riders to follow his methods. Led by Armstrong, the U.S. Postal Service team carried out “the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen,” according to Travis Tygart of the USADA. Through years of allegations, Armstrong both denied any kind of drug use and reacted combatively against those who leveled the charge against him. Why come clean now? He supposedly wants to be free to compete in sanctioned marathons and triathlons . Teased Oprah in a Tweet not long after chatting with the disgraced athlete: “Just wrapped with @lancearmstrong More than 2½ hours. He came READY!”
Adam Levine has put Honey Boo Boo on blast. Move over, American Idol , MTV, Fox News and The Roxy ; The outspoken Maroon 5 singer and Voice coach is voicing his opinion on the TLC reality star, and his opinion isn’t good. “Seriously, Honey Boo Boo is the decay of Western civilization,” he says in the latest GQ . “Just because so many people watch a show doesn’t mean it’s good.” “So many people witness atrocities and can’t take their eyes away, but that doesn’t mean they’re good. That show is literally The. Worst. Thing. That’s. Ever. Happened.” Not a lot of wiggle room to backtrack that statement, but clearly Levine won’t be doing that, as he actually grew even more heated when discussing HBB. “It’s complete f-cking ignorance and the most despicable way to treat your kids,” he said. “F-ck those people. You can put that in the magazine: F-ck those idiots. They’re just the worst. Sorry, I’m so sensitive to that — like, I don’t know, man, it’s upsetting.” “Just to clarify, I said, ‘F-ck those people!'” Consider it clarified, man. Duly noted. Adam Levine , 33, isn’t the only star who takes issue with Alana Thompson, 7 and her Georgia-based family, which average 2.3 million viewers a week for TLC. He is, however, now the most vocal, unabashed and passionate opponent of all things Here Comes Honey Boo Boo in all of western civilization. We challenge anyone to take his crown after this tirade. What’s your take on Honey Boo Boo and family? Love ’em! Hate ’em! Love to hate ’em! View Poll »
