/in /by

Lance Armstrong comes clean in an interview with Oprah Winfrey scheduled for this Thursday and Friday. He has repeatedly denied charges of doping up to this point.

Watch an interview of Oprah Winfrey talking about the upcoming Lance Armstrong interview:

In June of 2012 the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency announced that written notice of allegations of anti-doping rule violations was sent to Mr. Armstrong and five (5) additional individuals all formerly associated with the United States Postal Service (USPS) professional cycling team. These individuals include three (3) team doctors and two (2) team officials. The formal notice letter is the first step in the multi-step legal process for alleged sport anti-doping rule violations.

Mr. Armstrong has been stripped of his Tour de France titles. He also lost most of his sponsorships, and resigned from the Livestrong organization, after being charged with leading a long-running doping scheme.

According to CBS News, the London-based Sunday Times has already filed a $500,000 lawsuit for the return of a settlement it paid in a libel case. SCA Promotions of Dallas is considering a lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million awarded by an arbitration panel. A South Australia state government plans to seek the repayment of several million dollars in appearance fees paid to Armstrong for competing in the Tour Down Under in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
