I thought he told Oprah he was sorry?? Lol
Heās not sorry. No remorse. More evidence that heās a sociopath.

"I wouldnāt change a thing. I wouldnāt change the way I acted. I mean I would, but this is a longer answer,ā he said. āPrimarily, I wouldnāt change the lessons that Iāve learned."
The headline is clickbaitā¦everyone involved is still trying to make a buck off of lxnceā¦including lxnce.
Heās a kid who grew up poor and fatherless, wanting so desperately to be rich and in controlā¦pro cycling just happened to be his medium. Heāll never change because heāll never address that part of his life (except for trying to marry women who look like Momma Armstrong!). And those leeching off him will never change because theyāll flog that cash cow until itās bone dry.

I feel this is the context thatās important:
āI wouldnāt change a thing. I wouldnāt change the way I acted. I mean I would, but this is a longer answer,ā he said. āPrimarily, I wouldnāt change the lessons that Iāve learned. I donāt learn all the lessons if I donāt act that way. I donāt get investigated and sanctioned if I donāt act the way I acted.
I feel I understand what he means - Iāve made mistakes (but probablyā¦not his level) in my life but I prefer to move forward and become better than focus on the past and regret things or feel self-pity.

I finally saw the video. I agree with what he said. The news media will always put their own jargon and spin into the story. I think the guy is a dirtbag, but heās also an extreme type-a competitor. Watch the video and youāll see what I mean. Matter of fact, he was spot-on in my most humble opinion. Great interview.
Right? Kinda creepy!
Guysā¦come on. Letās get real here. I think this is just one more stone thatās unnecessarily thrown at him
So basically he thinks the real harm he caused to all sorts of people (Lemond, Andreus, etc etc etc) was worth it because he personally ālearned some lessonsā.
Thatās purely sociopathy. Still not thinking about the people he harmed and whether or not they had a choice in being fucked around by him, still just thinking about how it worked out for him personally. Iām sure if you asked Greg Lemond heād have preferred to keep his bike company and maybe let Lance learn his life lessons some other way.

I didnāt perceive it as that. I think he has tried (in his mind) with all the people he hurt to apologize but otherwise accepted some may not forgive (which said is their right). Whether he feels he should do more (as with LeMond) is up to him to judge, I donāt have an opinion on that - in theory, perhaps LeMond could bring that up in a civil lawsuit.
I think what āworth itā meant was more towards it has helped him grow as a better person. If he had not been caught, he could have kept living the lie and just kept streamrolling over people.

I had no idea so many forum users were psychologists. My friends and I started riding bikes because we saw Lance on TV. Iām not gonna psychoanalyze anyone, but Iām still glad I started riding! Weāre all still riding! I know Iām not the only one that followed Lance to a healthier, fitter lifestyle. Plus his pod casts are funny.

He is a lot more self aware than most people give him credit for imo.
He has sociopathic tendencies, but he isnāt oblivious to it.

For him to be classified as a sub decent human being he would have to accept what he did. Apologize to those people and pay back some on the tens of millions he ripped people off for. In the interview he said he couldnāt be honest because there were lawsuits. Well time has expired on those suits so now he can be honest because heās learned lessons and heās growing as a personā¦ because now he doesnāt have to pay anyone back nuttin. That takes a big man of character.
He can pay for a second chance. He just got lucky a president told the FBI to back off. He would have spent years in jail.
