3. 0:04today Oprah Winfrey and Champion biker
4. 0:07Lance Armstrong more than three million
5. 0:10people watched trying to gauge his
6. 0:12confession his remorse ABC's Neil
7. 0:15carlinsky studied Armstrong's answers
8. 0:17and we wondered did he finally tell the
9. 0:19truth if Lance Armstrong's goal in
10. 0:22talking with Oprah was a shot at
11. 0:23Redemption he may have just taken a big
12. 0:26step backwards I view this situation as
13. 0:30um one big lie that I repeated a lot of
14. 0:34times but Federal investigators say even
15. 0:36now he's still lying one of the biggest
16. 0:39Armstrong told Oprah he stopped doping
17. 0:41in 2005 you did not do a blood
18. 0:44transfusion absolutely not in 2009 you
19. 0:46did no doping or blood transfusions in
20. 0:492010 Absolut 2009 and 2010 those were
21. 0:52the two years I did the tour absolutely
22. 0:55not yet today investigators tell ABC
23. 0:58news that Armstrong's blood work from
24. 1:00his 2009 tour to France shows clear
25. 1:03blood manipulation consistent with ban
26. 1:06transfusions so why admit to some doping
27. 1:09but not all investigators say it's to
28. 1:11keep within the statute of limitations
29. 1:13for Armstrong's biggest fear possible
30. 1:16criminal charges but even though he
31. 1:18fessed up to cheating when it came to
32. 1:19the human part smearing people like
33. 1:22former friend Betsy Andreu for refusing
34. 1:24to lie and sabotaging her husband's
35. 1:26cycling career many saw a lack of
36. 1:29compassion that seemed bizarre at best
37. 1:32here's how he described his apology to
38. 1:34Andre and I said listen I called you
39. 1:36crazy I called you I called you all
40. 1:39these things but I never called you fat
41. 1:42are you satisfied by anything you heard
42. 1:44no I'm not I'm really disappointed here
43. 1:47I am I don't know if I'm stupid willing
44. 1:49to give him a a second
45. 1:51chance but I think he blew it tonight
46. 1:54Armstrong's lawyers will be considering
47. 1:57that too and whether his words might
48. 1:59come back to haunt him in
49. 2:01court and we're joined Now by Neil
50. 2:03carlinsky who's covered this story for
51. 2:05so long so what are his teammates his
52. 2:07cycle mate saying well we've heard from
53. 2:10two former teammates Frankie andreo and
54. 2:11Tyler Hamilton and to be fair they still
55. 2:13have a lot of questions for Lance
56. 2:16Armstrong but they consider the fact
57. 2:17that he has made an admission and some
58. 2:19apologies a huge First Step because they
59. 2:21say this is a guy who does not admit
60. 2:23mistakes or apologize easily so they've
61. 2:26never heard him apologize no before so
62. 2:29at least something okay thank you Neil
