Lance Armstrong doping update: The seven-time Tour de France winner confessed to doping during an interview with Oprah Winfrey taped Monday (the interview is scheduled to air on Oprah’s OWN network Thursday.)

ESPN reports that Oprah interviewed Lance for approximately 90 minutes at a downtown Austin hotel. Speaking on “CBS This Morning” Tuesday, Oprah said that Lance was “forthcoming” when she asked him to discuss the doping allegations that plagued him during his cycling career.

“I don’t think ’emotional’ begins to describe the intensity or the difficulty he experienced in talking about some of these things,” Oprah said about the disgraced cyclist’s confession.

Monday was an extremely busy day for Lance. In addition to his interview with Oprah, the cyclist also had a frank conversation with the cancer foundation he started.

“He had a private conversation with the staff, who have done the important work of the foundation for many years,” Livestrong Foundation spokeswoman Katherine McLane told Reuters. “It was a very sincere and heartfelt expression of regret over any stress that they’ve suffered over the course of the last few years as a result of the media attention.”

In a statement released Wednesday, the Livestrong foundation revealed its expectations for Lance’s upcoming interview with Oprah.

“We expect Lance to be completely truthful and forthcoming in his interview and with all of us in the cancer community,” the statement read. “We expect we will have more to say at that time. Regardless, we are charting a strong, independent course forward that is focused on helping people overcome financial, emotional and physical challenges related to cancer. Inspired by the people with cancer whom we serve, we feel confident and optimistic about the Foundation’s future and welcome an end to speculation.”

Back in October, a doping update issued by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) slammed Lance for being part of the most “sophisticated” doping program that the sport of professional cycling has even seen.

“The evidence shows beyond any doubt that the U.S. Postal Service Pro Cycling Team ran the most sophisticated, professionalized, and successful doping program that sport has ever seen,” according to a statement made by USADA’s CEO, Travis T. Tygart, at the time. “The evidence demonstrates that the ‘Code of Silence’ of performance-enhancing drug use in the sport of cycling has been shattered.”

Will Lance ever mount a career comeback (perhaps as a triathlete)? Will his confession to doping overshadow his seven Tour de France titles and charitable work? Sound off in the comments section.
