*Winfrey's Interview with Armstrong
(CNN)
Oprah
Winfrey's interview with disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong will air across two
nights, she told CBS on Tuesday. "We were mesmerized and riveted by some
of his answers." The interview lasted 2 ½ hours. Winfrey prepared 112
questions, and did not get to all of them. Armstrong "did not come clean
in the manner that I expected," Winfrey said, adding that he "was
ready" and "met the moment." After CBS reported that Armstrong
admitted using banned substances, Winfrey said her team and Armstrong's camp
had agreed not to leak what was in the interview, but now, somehow, "it's
already been confirmed."
