Lance Armstrong didn't win seven Tours de France merely by taking performance enhancing drugs. His training was brutal but planned. He knew what he wanted to achieve and how to achieve it. The same approach went into the races themselves; every detail of every stage was examined - the climbs, the finishes, the pinch points. Same again for his bullying of journalists who questioned his victories. So his decision to confess to Oprah Winfrey - once the house of cards started falling - seems even stranger in hindsight. Armstrong the control freak refused to play by the TV "rules". He didn't reveal all and appear to reach rock bottom, he concealed and looked defiant. Armstrong got it so, so wrong. Instead of a cheater begging for forgiveness, he just looked like a cheat. - Patrick McKendry
