Lance Armstrong Interview, Part 2: ‘I Deserve’ to Compete Again
In the second part of his dramatic TV interview with Oprah Winfrey, Lance Armstrong shed a few tears but said he believed he deserved a second chance.
Asked if he thought he should be allowed to compete again now that he has admitted to years of doping, Armstrong said, “This may not be the most popular answer, but I think I deserve it.”
He brought up the fact other cyclists who are caught doping usually get a six-month suspension. “So I got a death penalty and they got … six months,” Armstrong insisted. “I’m not saying that that’s unfair, necessarily, but I’m saying it’s different.”
The disgraced athlete, who has been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and an Olympic bronze medal, turned emotional only once during the OWN channel interview, and that was when he found his 13-year-old son defending him.
“That’s when I knew I had to tell him,” Armstrong said, tears welling up.

Lance Armstrong is so full of it (himself that is) it doesn't surprise me he "believes he deserves to compete again and he believes he deserves a second chance", he still believes "He only told one lie". The reality is, is you keep on lying over and over again (in his case for years) you're telling lie after lie after lie. He was a hero to so many people, he single handedly destroyed the sport, he has no remorse, the only remorse he feel is "he got caught" and one of his excuses is "everyone does it" so that makes it right, give us a break, he still hasn't told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I hope and pray Lance Armstrong losses every cent he has, everything he has. My heart goes out to his children and his wife, they're the victims in this and all the people who looked up to him, the sport. Lance Armstrong deserves jail time which he will never get, but hopefully justice will be served where it will hurt him, his wallet.
