He blinked, looked away from Winfrey, and with his lip trembling, struggled to compose himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It came just past the midpoint of the hourlong program on Winfrey's OWN network. In the first part, broadcast Thursday, the disgraced cycling champion admitted using performance-enhancing drugs when he won seven straight Tour de France titles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics said he hadn't been contrite enough in the first half of the interview, which was taped Monday in Austin, but Armstrong seemed to lose his composure when Winfrey zeroed in on the emotional drama involving his personal life. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What did you say?\" Winfrey asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I said, 'Listen, there's been a lot of questions about your dad. My career. Whether I doped or did not dope. I've always denied that and I've always been ruthless and defiant about that. You guys have seen that. That's probably why you trusted me on it.' Which makes it even sicker,\" Armstrong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And uh, I told Luke, I said,\" and here Armstrong paused for a long time to collect himself, \"I said, 'Don't defend me anymore. Don't.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said OK. He just said, 'Look, I love you. You're my dad. This won't change that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey also drew Armstrong out on his ex-wife, Kristin, whom he claimed knew just enough about both the doping and lying to ask him to stop. He credited her with making him promise that his comeback in 2009 would be drug-free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She said to me, 'You can do it under one condition: That you never cross that line again,'\" Armstrong recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The line of drugs?\" Winfrey asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes. And I said, 'You've got a deal,'\" he replied. \"And I never would have betrayed that with her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report that exposed Armstrong as the leader of an elaborate doping scheme on his U.S. Postal Service cycling team included witness statements from at least three former teammates who said Kristin Armstrong participated in or at least knew about doping on the teams and knew team code names for EPO kept in her refrigerator. Postal rider Jonathan Vaughters testified that she handed riders cortisone pills wrapped in foil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong said in the first part of the interview that he had stayed clean in the comeback, a claim that runs counter to the USADA report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that wasn't the only portion of the interview likely to rile anti-doping officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey asked Armstrong about a \"60 Minutes Sports\" interview in which USADA chief executive Travis Tygart said a representative of the cyclist had offered a donation that the agency turned down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Were you trying to pay off USADA?\" she asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No, that's not true,\" he replied, repeating, \"That is not true.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey asks the question three more times, in different forms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is not true,\" he insisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USADA spokeswoman Annie Skinner replied in a statement: \"We stand by the facts both in the reasoned decision and in the '60 Minutes' interview.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong has talked with USADA officials, and a meeting with Tygart near the Denver airport reportedly ended in an argument over the possibility of modifying the lifetime ban. A person familiar with those conversations said Armstrong could provide information that might get his ban reduced to eight years. By then, he would be 49. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he was discussing a confidential matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After retiring from cycling in 2011, Armstrong returned to triathlons, where he began his professional career as a teenager, and he has told people he's desperate to get back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey asked if that was why he agreed to the interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you're asking me, do I want to compete again ... the answer is hell, yes,\" Armstrong said. \"I'm a competitor. It's what I've done my whole life. I love to train. I love to race. I love to toe the line — and I don't expect it to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet just three questions later, a flash of the old Armstrong emerged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Frankly,\" he said, \"this may not be the most popular answer, but I think I deserve it. Maybe not right now ... (but) if I could go back to that time and say, 'OK, you're trading my story for a six-month suspension?' Because that's what people got.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What other people got?\" Winfrey asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What everybody got,\" he replied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eleven former Armstrong teammates, including several who previously tested positive for PEDs, testified about the USPS team's doping scheme in exchange for more lenient punishments. Armstrong said in the first part of the interview that he knew his \"fate was sealed\" when his most trusted lieutenant, George Hincapie, who was alongside him for all seven Tour wins between 1999-2005, was forced to give Armstrong up to anti-doping authorities,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So I got a death penalty and they got ... six months,\" Armstrong resumed. \"I'm not saying that that's unfair, necessarily, but I'm saying it's different.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong said the most \"humbling\" moment in the aftermath of the USADA report was leaving Livestrong lest his association damage the foundation's ability to raise money and continue its advocacy programs on behalf of cancer victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Originally called the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the cyclist created it the year after he was diagnosed with a form of testicular cancer that had spread to his brain and lungs.

He blinked, looked away from Winfrey, and with his lip trembling, struggled to compose himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It came just past the midpoint of the hourlong program on Winfrey's OWN network. In the first part, broadcast Thursday, the disgraced cycling champion admitted using performance-enhancing drugs when he won seven straight Tour de France titles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics said he hadn't been contrite enough in the first half of the interview, which was taped Monday in Austin, but Armstrong seemed to lose his composure when Winfrey zeroed in on the emotional drama involving his personal life. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What did you say?\" Winfrey asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I said, 'Listen, there's been a lot of questions about your dad. My career. Whether I doped or did not dope. I've always denied that and I've always been ruthless and defiant about that. You guys have seen that. That's probably why you trusted me on it.' Which makes it even sicker,\" Armstrong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And uh, I told Luke, I said,\" and here Armstrong paused for a long time to collect himself, \"I said, 'Don't defend me anymore. Don't.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He said OK. He just said, 'Look, I love you. You're my dad. This won't change that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey also drew Armstrong out on his ex-wife, Kristin, whom he claimed knew just enough about both the doping and lying to ask him to stop. He credited her with making him promise that his comeback in 2009 would be drug-free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She said to me, 'You can do it under one condition: That you never cross that line again,'\" Armstrong recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The line of drugs?\" Winfrey asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes. And I said, 'You've got a deal,'\" he replied. \"And I never would have betrayed that with her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report that exposed Armstrong as the leader of an elaborate doping scheme on his U.S. Postal Service cycling team included witness statements from at least three former teammates who said Kristin Armstrong participated in or at least knew about doping on the teams and knew team code names for EPO kept in her refrigerator. Postal rider Jonathan Vaughters testified that she handed riders cortisone pills wrapped in foil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong said in the first part of the interview that he had stayed clean in the comeback, a claim that runs counter to the USADA report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that wasn't the only portion of the interview likely to rile anti-doping officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey asked Armstrong about a \"60 Minutes Sports\" interview in which USADA chief executive Travis Tygart said a representative of the cyclist had offered a donation that the agency turned down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Were you trying to pay off USADA?\" she asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No, that's not true,\" he replied, repeating, \"That is not true.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey asks the question three more times, in different forms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is not true,\" he insisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USADA spokeswoman Annie Skinner replied in a statement: \"We stand by the facts both in the reasoned decision and in the '60 Minutes' interview.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong has talked with USADA officials, and a meeting with Tygart near the Denver airport reportedly ended in an argument over the possibility of modifying the lifetime ban. A person familiar with those conversations said Armstrong could provide information that might get his ban reduced to eight years. By then, he would be 49. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he was discussing a confidential matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After retiring from cycling in 2011, Armstrong returned to triathlons, where he began his professional career as a teenager, and he has told people he's desperate to get back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey asked if that was why he agreed to the interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you're asking me, do I want to compete again ... the answer is hell, yes,\" Armstrong said. \"I'm a competitor. It's what I've done my whole life. I love to train. I love to race. I love to toe the line — and I don't expect it to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet just three questions later, a flash of the old Armstrong emerged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Frankly,\" he said, \"this may not be the most popular answer, but I think I deserve it. Maybe not right now ... (but) if I could go back to that time and say, 'OK, you're trading my story for a six-month suspension?' Because that's what people got.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What other people got?\" Winfrey asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What everybody got,\" he replied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eleven former Armstrong teammates, including several who previously tested positive for PEDs, testified about the USPS team's doping scheme in exchange for more lenient punishments. Armstrong said in the first part of the interview that he knew his \"fate was sealed\" when his most trusted lieutenant, George Hincapie, who was alongside him for all seven Tour wins between 1999-2005, was forced to give Armstrong up to anti-doping authorities,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So I got a death penalty and they got ... six months,\" Armstrong resumed. \"I'm not saying that that's unfair, necessarily, but I'm saying it's different.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong said the most \"humbling\" moment in the aftermath of the USADA report was leaving Livestrong lest his association damage the foundation's ability to raise money and continue its advocacy programs on behalf of cancer victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Originally called the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the cyclist created it the year after he was diagnosed with a form of testicular cancer that had spread to his brain and lungs. Doctors gave him 50-50 odds of surviving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wouldn't at all say forced out, told to leave,\" he said of Livestrong. \"I was aware of the pressure. But it hurt like hell. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was the lowest,\" Armstrong said. \"The lowest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong's personal fortune had sustained a big hit days earlier. One by one, his sponsors called to end their associations with him: Nike; Trek Bicycles; Giro, which manufactures cycling helmets and other accessories; Anheuser-Busch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was a $75 million day,\" Armstrong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That just went out of your life,\" Winfrey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Gone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Gone?\" Winfrey repeated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Gone,\" he replied, \"and probably never coming back.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So was there a moral to his story?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can look at what I did,\" he said. \"Cheating to win bike races, lying about it, bullying people.

I didn't view it that way. I viewed it as a level playing field.\" \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wearing a blue blazer and open-neck shirt, Armstrong was direct and matter-of-fact, neither pained nor defensive.

Shortly after, he lost nearly all his endorsements and was forced to walk away from the Livestrong cancer charity he founded in 1997.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong could provide information that might get his ban reduced to eight years.

That was on top of blood-doping, which involved removing his own blood and weeks later re-injecting it into his system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of it was designed to build strength and endurance, but it became so routine that Armstrong described it as \"like saying we have to have air in our tires or water in our bottles.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was, in my view, part of the job,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong was evasive, or begged off entirely, when Winfrey tried to connect his use to others who aided or abetted the performance-enhancing scheme on the USPS team\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she asked him about Italian doctor Michele Ferrari, who was implicated in doping-related scrapes and has also been banned from cycling for life, Armstrong relied, \"It's hard to talk about some of these things and not mention names.

There was no positive test, no paying off of the labs. There was no secret meeting with the lab director,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey pressed him again, asking if the money he donated wasn't part of a tit-for-tat agreement, \"Why make it?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because they asked me to,\" Armstrong began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is impossible for me to answer and have anybody believe it,\" he said. \"It was not in exchange for any cover-up. ...

And he was certain his \"fate was sealed\" when longtime friend, training partner and trusted lieutenant George Hincapie, who was along for the ride on all seven of Armstrong's Tour de France wins from 1999-2005, was forced to give him up to anti-doping authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/user/OWN/videos?sort=dd&view=0&flow=grid\">More clips from the interview\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/17/a-portrait-of-lance-armstrong-driven-to-win-at-any-cost/\">\u003cstrong>Lance Armstrong: 'A Myth That Kept Rolling Down the Tracks'\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> (KQED Forum)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But right from the start and more than two dozen times during the first of a two-part interview Thursday night with Oprah Winfrey on her OWN network, the disgraced former cycling champion acknowledged what he had lied about repeatedly for years, and what had been one of the worst-kept secrets for the better part of a week: He was the ringleader of an elaborate doping scheme on a U.S. Postal Service team that swept him to the top of the podium at the Tour de France time after time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm a flawed character,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Did it feel wrong?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No,\" Armstrong replied. \"Scary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Did you feel bad about it?\" Winfrey pressed him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No,\" he said. \"Even scarier.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Did you feel in any way that you were cheating?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No,\" Armstrong paused. \"Scariest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I went and looked up the definition of cheat,\" he added a moment later. \"And the definition is to gain an advantage on a rival or foe. I didn't view it that way. I viewed it as a level playing field.\" \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wearing a blue blazer and open-neck shirt, Armstrong was direct and matter-of-fact, neither pained nor defensive. He looked straight ahead. There were no tears and very few laughs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He dodged few questions and refused to implicate anyone else, even as he said it was humanly impossible to win seven straight Tours without doping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not comfortable talking about other people,\" Armstrong said. \"I don't want to accuse anybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether his televised confession will help or hurt Armstrong's bruised reputation and his already-tenuous defense in at least two pending lawsuits, and possibly a third, remains to be seen.

Ruthless and rich enough to settle any score, no place seemed beyond his reach — courtrooms, the court of public opinion, even along the roads of his sport's most prestigious race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That relentless pursuit was one of the things that Armstrong said he regretted most.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I deserve this,\" he said twice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a major flaw, and it's a guy who expected to get whatever he wanted and to control every outcome. And it's inexcusable. And when I say there are people who will hear this and never forgive me, I understand that. I do...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That defiance, that attitude, that arrogance, you cannot deny it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong said he started doping in mid-1990s but didn't when he finished third in his comeback attempt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anti-doping officials have said nothing short of a confession under oath — \"not talking to a talk-show host,\" is how World Anti-Doping Agency director general David Howman put it — could prompt a reconsideration of Armstrong's lifetime ban from sanctioned events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's also had discussions with officials at the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, whose 1,000-page report in October included testimony from nearly a dozen former teammates and led to stripping Armstrong of his Tour titles. Shortly after, he lost nearly all his endorsements and was forced to walk away from the Livestrong cancer charity he founded in 1997.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong could provide information that might get his ban reduced to eight years. By then, he would be 49. He returned to triathlons, where he began his professional career as a teenager, after retiring from cycling in 2011, and has told people he's desperate to get back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USADA chief Travis Tygart, who pursued the case against Armstrong when others had stopped, said the cyclist's confession was just a start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Tonight, Lance Armstrong finally acknowledged that his cycling career was built on a powerful combination of doping and deceit,\" Tygart said. \"His admission that he doped throughout his career is a small step in the right direction. But if he is sincere in his desire to correct his past mistakes, he will testify under oath about the full extent of his doping activities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Livestrong issued a statement that said the charity was \"disappointed by the news that Lance Armstrong misled people during and after his cycling career, including us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Earlier this week, Lance apologized to our staff and we accepted his apology in order to move on and chart a strong, independent course,\" it said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The interview revealed very few details about Armstrong's performance-enhancing regimen that would surprise anti-doping officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_86197\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 223px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/01/lancetwo20130118.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/01/lancetwo20130118-223x300.jpg\" alt=\"Lance Armstrong competes in the 2010 Tour de France.

That was on top of blood-doping, which involved removing his own blood and weeks later re-injecting it into his system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of it was designed to build strength and endurance, but it became so routine that Armstrong described it as \"like saying we have to have air in our tires or water in our bottles.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was, in my view, part of the job,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong was evasive, or begged off entirely, when Winfrey tried to connect his use to others who aided or abetted the performance-enhancing scheme on the USPS team\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she asked him about Italian doctor Michele Ferrari, who was implicated in doping-related scrapes and has also been banned from cycling for life, Armstrong relied, \"It's hard to talk about some of these things and not mention names. There are people in this story, they're good people and we've all made mistakes ... they're not monsters, not toxic and not evil, and I viewed Michele Ferrari as a good man and smart man and still do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that's nearly all Armstrong would say about the physician that some reports have suggested educated the cyclist about doping and looked after other aspects of his training program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was almost as reluctant to discuss claims by former teammates Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis that Armstrong told them, separately, that he tested positive during the 2001 Tour de Suisse and conspired with officials of the International Cycling Union officials to cover it up — in exchange for a donation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That story wasn't true. There was no positive test, no paying off of the labs. There was no secret meeting with the lab director,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey pressed him again, asking if the money he donated wasn't part of a tit-for-tat agreement, \"Why make it?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Because they asked me to,\" Armstrong began.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is impossible for me to answer and have anybody believe it,\" he said. \"It was not in exchange for any cover-up. ...

A lot of people would say, and his lawyers would say, ‘Don’t put yourself at risk– it’s potentially tens, maybe even more, millions of dollars.’ But he looks at everything in a very binary way, he sees a path forward, he sees a goal and he just does it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coyle also said he believes a unique set of character traits drove Armstrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It depends how much risk you want to take, how entrepreneurial you are, how aggressive you are, how competitive you are,” Coyle said. “Lance was a guy who ticked all those boxes, he was the guy who was built to succeed in this world, and who pushed it. It’s one thing to just dope because other guys are doing it. It’s another thing to say, ‘We’re going to invent the wheel every single year. We’re going to push it every year. We’re like Silicon Valley.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as much as Coyle views Armstrong as the doping ringleader on his teams, he is equally adamant that doping has been part of the culture of cycling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not that much difference between what happens on Wall Street and what happened in cycling during that era,” said Coyle. “You have very little regulation, you have very competitive people. … It’s easy to lose your way, especially when you’re determined to win at all costs. You know, that’s a phrase that we throw around a lot, but cycling in that era, and this story, shows us exactly what that means.” According to Coyle, his co-author Tyler Hamilton–himself a disgraced cycling doper–estimates that “90 percent of the guys on the Tour were doing something [illegal].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, says Coyle, “It was an honor to dope.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coyle described Hamilton’s experience:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tyler [Hamilton] said that it felt like he was being picked for the A-team,” said Coyle. Hamilton says a friendly, white-haired doctor who had worked with champions told him, ” ‘You have to do this for your health. Don’t take this pill. Don’t take it tomorrow because you might get tested and get busted, but this will help you.’ And [Hamilton] did, and that was the start. And I’m sure that’s how Armstrong started, I’m sure that’s how all these guys started,” said Coyle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just like these guys are taking an occasional syringe, this is an entire tapestry, it’s a whole secret world, it’s a soap opera,” said Coyle. “It’s sort of a mix of sports and some \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0002110/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jason Bourne movie\u003c/a>. You’re transporting blood bags in a dog kennel to get during the race, and they’d go into a room and put plastic wrap over the toilet in case there was a microphone in there. They would tape up the smoke detector in case there was a camera in there. And they would do the transfusions. It was incredibly risky, it was incredibly lucrative, it was incredibly frightening. And that’s the world they were living in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coyle suggested that you shouldn’t get your hopes up for Armstrong to show all his cards in his Oprah interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Telling the truth is difficult for these guys,” Coyle said. “It’s not like you can flip a switch and simply remove 15 years of denial…. So it’s sort of difficult to say, ‘Hey Oprah, I’m gonna tell you everything,’ because your brain doesn’t work that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s just hope for everyone’s sake, the interview is more conclusive and more satisying than the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/12/arts/television/12sopr.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tony Soprano’s black screen\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

A lot of people would say, and his lawyers would say, ‘Don’t put yourself at risk– it’s potentially tens, maybe even more, millions of dollars.’ But he looks at everything in a very binary way, he sees a path forward, he sees a goal and he just does it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coyle also said he believes a unique set of character traits drove Armstrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It depends how much risk you want to take, how entrepreneurial you are, how aggressive you are, how competitive you are,” Coyle said. “Lance was a guy who ticked all those boxes, he was the guy who was built to succeed in this world, and who pushed it. It’s one thing to just dope because other guys are doing it. It’s another thing to say, ‘We’re going to invent the wheel every single year. We’re going to push it every year. We’re like Silicon Valley.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as much as Coyle views Armstrong as the doping ringleader on his teams, he is equally adamant that doping has been part of the culture of cycling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not that much difference between what happens on Wall Street and what happened in cycling during that era,” said Coyle. “You have very little regulation, you have very competitive people. … It’s easy to lose your way, especially when you’re determined to win at all costs. You know, that’s a phrase that we throw around a lot, but cycling in that era, and this story, shows us exactly what that means.” According to Coyle, his co-author Tyler Hamilton–himself a disgraced cycling doper–estimates that “90 percent of the guys on the Tour were doing something [illegal].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, says Coyle, “It was an honor to dope.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coyle described Hamilton’s experience:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tyler [Hamilton] said that it felt like he was being picked for the A-team,” said Coyle. Hamilton says a friendly, white-haired doctor who had worked with champions told him, ” ‘You have to do this for your health. Don’t take this pill. Don’t take it tomorrow because you might get tested and get busted, but this will help you.’ And [Hamilton] did, and that was the start. And I’m sure that’s how Armstrong started, I’m sure that’s how all these guys started,” said Coyle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just like these guys are taking an occasional syringe, this is an entire tapestry, it’s a whole secret world, it’s a soap opera,” said Coyle. “It’s sort of a mix of sports and some \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0002110/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jason Bourne movie\u003c/a>. You’re transporting blood bags in a dog kennel to get during the race, and they’d go into a room and put plastic wrap over the toilet in case there was a microphone in there. They would tape up the smoke detector in case there was a camera in there. And they would do the transfusions. It was incredibly risky, it was incredibly lucrative, it was incredibly frightening. And that’s the world they were living in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coyle suggested that you shouldn’t get your hopes up for Armstrong to show all his cards in his Oprah interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Telling the truth is difficult for these guys,” Coyle said. “It’s not like you can flip a switch and simply remove 15 years of denial…. So it’s sort of difficult to say, ‘Hey Oprah, I’m gonna tell you everything,’ because your brain doesn’t work that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s just hope for everyone’s sake, the interview is more conclusive and more satisying than the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/12/arts/television/12sopr.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tony Soprano’s black screen\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A detailed \u003ca href=\"http://deadspin.com/5976517/\">post\u003c/a> on the website Deadspin says Kekua may never have existed at all. \u003c!--more-->From Deadspin:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Her passing, recounted so many times in the national media, produces no obituary or funeral announcement in Nexis, and no mention in the Stanford student newspaper... The Stanford registrar's office has no record that a Lennay Kekua ever enrolled. There is no record of her birth in the news. Outside of a few Twitter and Instagram accounts, there's no online evidence that Lennay Kekua ever existed.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/NDFootball/posts/553537038009180\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook page for Notre Dame football\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia. The University immediately initiated an investigation to assist Manti and his family in discovering the motive for and nature of this hoax. While the proper authorities will continue to investigate this troubling matter, this appears to be, at a minimum, a sad and very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8851033/story-manti-teo-girlfriend-death-apparently-hoax\">ESPN\u003c/a> reports that Te'o has released this statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online. We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life, and I'm looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL Draft.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Te'o's comment about a relationship with a woman he met online contradicts at least one report about how he met Kekua. From the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.southbendtribune.com/2012-10-12/sports/34419536_1_brian-and-ottilia-manti-te-o-irish-head-coach\">South Bend Tribune\u003c/a>, which is cited in the Deadspin post:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Lennay Kekua was a Stanford student and Cardinal football fan when the two exchanged glances, handshakes and phone numbers that fateful weekend three seasons ago.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deadspin, meanwhile, backs up Te'o's statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The real beginning of their relationship apparently occurred on Twitter, as an encounter between @MTeo_5 and @lovalovaloveYOU, on Oct. 10, 2011.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Finally, he told the tale himself after promising over the weekend to answer Winfrey’s questions “directly, honestly and candidly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cyclist was stripped of his Tour titles, lost most of his endorsements and was forced to leave Livestrong last year after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency issued a damning, 1,000-page report that accused him of masterminding a long-running doping scheme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The International Cycling Union, or UCI, issued a statement on Tuesday saying it was aware of the reports that Armstrong had confessed to Winfrey. The governing body for the sport urged Armstrong to tell his story to an independent commission it has set up to examine claims it covered up suspicious samples from the cyclist, accepted financial donations from him and helped him avoid detection in doping tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong started Monday with a visit to the headquarters of Livestrong, the charity he founded in 1997 and turned into a global force on the strength of his athletic dominance and personal story of surviving testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 100 Livestrong staff members gathered in a conference room as Armstrong told them “I’m sorry.” He choked up during a 20-minute talk, expressing regret for the long-running controversy tied to performance-enhancers had caused, but stopped short of admitting he used them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before he was done, several members were in tears when he urged them to continue the charity’s mission, helping cancer patients and their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Heartfelt and sincere,” is how Livestrong spokeswoman Katherine McLane described his speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong later huddled with almost a dozen people before stepping into a room set up at a downtown Austin hotel for the interview with Winfrey. The group included close friends and lawyers. They exchanged handshakes and smiles, but declined comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey has promoted her interview, one of the biggest for OWN since she launched the network in 2011, as a “no-holds barred” session, and after the voluminous USADA report — which included testimony from 11 former teammates — she said she went into the session with 112 questions ready to go. Not all of them were asked, she said, but many were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USADA chief executive Travis Tygart, a longtime critic of Armstrong’s, called the drug regimen practiced while Armstrong led the U.S. Postal Service team “the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.” USADA did not respond to requests for comment about Armstrong’s confession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, Armstrong went after his critics ruthlessly during his reign as cycling champion. He scolded some in public and didn’t hesitate to punish outspoken riders during the race itself. He waged legal battles against still others in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one of his opponents, the London-based Sunday Times, has already filed a lawsuit to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel case, and Dallas-based SCA Promotions, which tried to deny Armstrong a promised bonus for a Tour de France win, has threatened to bring another lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million awarded by an arbitration panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Australia, the government of South Australia state said Tuesday it will 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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d be more than happy for Mr. Armstrong to make any repayment of monies to us,” South Australia Premier Jay Weatherill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betsy Andreu, the wife of former Armstrong teammate Frankie Andreu, was one of the first to publicly accuse Armstrong of using performance-enhancing drugs. She called news of Armstrong’s confession “very emotional and very sad,” and choked up when asked to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He used to be one of my husband’s best friends and because he wouldn’t go along with the doping, he got kicked to the side,” she said. “Lance could have a positive impact if he tells the truth on everything. He’s got to be completely honest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betsy Andreu testified in SCA’s arbitration case challenging the bonus in 2005, saying Armstrong admitted in an Indiana hospital room in 1996 that he had taken many performance-enhancing drugs, a claim Armstrong vehemently denied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be nice if he would come out and say the hospital room happened,” Andreu said. “That’s where it all started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, has filed a federal whistle-blower lawsuit that accused Armstrong of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service. An attorney familiar with Armstrong’s legal problems told the AP that the Justice Department is highly likely to join the lawsuit. The False Claims Act lawsuit could result in Armstrong paying a substantial amount of money to the U.S. government. The deadline for the department to join the case is Thursday, though the department could seek an extension if necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the attorney, who works outside the government, the lawsuit alleges that Armstrong defrauded the U.S. government based on his years of denying use of performance-enhancing drugs. The attorney spoke on condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak on the record about the matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit most likely to be influenced by a confession might be the Sunday Times case. Potential perjury charges stemming from Armstrong’s sworn testimony in the 2005 arbitration fight would not apply because of the statute of limitations. Armstrong was not deposed during the federal investigation that was closed last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong is said to be worth around $100 million. But most sponsors dropped him after USADA’s scathing report — at the cost of tens of millions of dollars — and soon after, he left the board of Livestrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the USADA findings, he was also barred from competing in the elite triathlon or running events he participated in after his cycling career. World Anti-Doping Code rules state his lifetime ban cannot be reduced to less than eight years. WADA and U.S. Anti-Doping officials could agree to reduce the ban further depending on what information Armstrong provides and his level of cooperation.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The governing body for the sport urged Armstrong to tell his story to an independent commission it has set up to examine claims it covered up suspicious samples from the cyclist, accepted financial donations from him and helped him avoid detection in doping tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong started Monday with a visit to the headquarters of Livestrong, the charity he founded in 1997 and turned into a global force on the strength of his athletic dominance and personal story of surviving testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 100 Livestrong staff members gathered in a conference room as Armstrong told them “I’m sorry.” He choked up during a 20-minute talk, expressing regret for the long-running controversy tied to performance-enhancers had caused, but stopped short of admitting he used them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before he was done, several members were in tears when he urged them to continue the charity’s mission, helping cancer patients and their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Heartfelt and sincere,” is how Livestrong spokeswoman Katherine McLane described his speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong later huddled with almost a dozen people before stepping into a room set up at a downtown Austin hotel for the interview with Winfrey. The group included close friends and lawyers. They exchanged handshakes and smiles, but declined comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winfrey has promoted her interview, one of the biggest for OWN since she launched the network in 2011, as a “no-holds barred” session, and after the voluminous USADA report — which included testimony from 11 former teammates — she said she went into the session with 112 questions ready to go. Not all of them were asked, she said, but many were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USADA chief executive Travis Tygart, a longtime critic of Armstrong’s, called the drug regimen practiced while Armstrong led the U.S. Postal Service team “the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.” USADA did not respond to requests for comment about Armstrong’s confession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, Armstrong went after his critics ruthlessly during his reign as cycling champion. He scolded some in public and didn’t hesitate to punish outspoken riders during the race itself. He waged legal battles against still others in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one of his opponents, the London-based Sunday Times, has already filed a lawsuit to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel case, and Dallas-based SCA Promotions, which tried to deny Armstrong a promised bonus for a Tour de France win, has threatened to bring another lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million awarded by an arbitration panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Australia, the government of South Australia state said Tuesday it will 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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’d be more than happy for Mr. Armstrong to make any repayment of monies to us,” South Australia Premier Jay Weatherill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betsy Andreu, the wife of former Armstrong teammate Frankie Andreu, was one of the first to publicly accuse Armstrong of using performance-enhancing drugs. She called news of Armstrong’s confession “very emotional and very sad,” and choked up when asked to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He used to be one of my husband’s best friends and because he wouldn’t go along with the doping, he got kicked to the side,” she said. “Lance could have a positive impact if he tells the truth on everything. He’s got to be completely honest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Betsy Andreu testified in SCA’s arbitration case challenging the bonus in 2005, saying Armstrong admitted in an Indiana hospital room in 1996 that he had taken many performance-enhancing drugs, a claim Armstrong vehemently denied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would be nice if he would come out and say the hospital room happened,” Andreu said. “That’s where it all started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, has filed a federal whistle-blower lawsuit that accused Armstrong of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service. An attorney familiar with Armstrong’s legal problems told the AP that the Justice Department is highly likely to join the lawsuit. The False Claims Act lawsuit could result in Armstrong paying a substantial amount of money to the U.S. government. The deadline for the department to join the case is Thursday, though the department could seek an extension if necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the attorney, who works outside the government, the lawsuit alleges that Armstrong defrauded the U.S. government based on his years of denying use of performance-enhancing drugs. The attorney spoke on condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak on the record about the matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit most likely to be influenced by a confession might be the Sunday Times case. Potential perjury charges stemming from Armstrong’s sworn testimony in the 2005 arbitration fight would not apply because of the statute of limitations. Armstrong was not deposed during the federal investigation that was closed last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armstrong is said to be worth around $100 million. But most sponsors dropped him after USADA’s scathing report — at the cost of tens of millions of dollars — and soon after, he left the board of Livestrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Headlined by seven-time MVP Barry Bonds and seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens, the field is part of a continuing referendum not on the gaudy numbers of some of the game's greatest players, but on the steroid era in which they played.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonds and Clemens, both on the ballot for the first time, are not expected to receive the necessary 75 percent of the vote from the eligible members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America because they have been linked to performance-enhancing drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slugger Sammy Sosa, another first-timer, also is likely to be snubbed because of his association with steroids. Voters have not been kind to steroid-tainted sluggers Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro, who are still on the ballot but never have not gotten close to enshrinement.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Even Major League Baseball's unofficial historian, Ken Burns, has an \u003ca href=\"http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ken-burns-clemens-bonds-baseball-409759\" target=\"_blank\">opinion on this\u003c/a>. The Hollywood Reporter asked him...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Hollywood Reporter: Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds and Mike Piazza are all on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. Would you vote for them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ken Burns: \u003c/strong>No.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THR: Ever?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ken Burns:\u003c/strong> I want them to suffer for a while.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THR: Even if they were good before they allegedly used steroids?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ken Burns: \u003c/strong>I think the argument is that without a doubt Clemens and Bonds should be in there, and at the highest levels. Barry Bonds may be the greatest baseball player of all time, and Roger Clemens -- maybe you’d get some arguments from the [\u003cstrong>Sandy\u003c/strong>] \u003cstrong>Koufax\u003c/strong>/[\u003cstrong>Pedro\u003c/strong>] \u003cstrong>Martinez\u003c/strong> sector and the \u003cstrong>Walter Johnson\u003c/strong> segment and the \u003cstrong>Nolan Ryan\u003c/strong> crowd -- but they are two of the very, very best. And before when we think they began taking, they’re Hall of Fame caliber. But at the same time, the problem is we don’t know who didn’t at all. I mean, I know one person in all of the Major Leagues I’m absolutely certain didn’t, and that’s \u003cstrong>Ichiro Suzuki\u003c/strong>. But other than that, I have no guarantee that anyone you loved and think is way above that didn’t do it. And that is why they need to wait and wait and wait. Because it makes it impossible for us to judge excellence in this era.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bonds of course was actually convicted of obstruction of justice related to his grand jury testimony about steroids. The jury, however, could not agree on whether Bonds had committed perjury when he testified that he never knowingly took steroids or human growth hormone, and the judge declared a mistrial. Bond was sentenced to 30 days of home detention on the obstruction charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HOF voter Paul Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area writes today that he did not vote for Bonds or the other steroids-connected players. Here's how his thinking on this issue went...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It would have been easy to simply plug my nose, close my eyes and make my mark in the boxes (with big scarlet letters?) next to their names... Sorry, couldn't do it. Not with a clear conscience, anyway...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, I was that conflicted as I faxed in my ballot on New Year's Eve. But this is not some overzealous moralist ploy with its flag planted in Rule 5 of the BBWAA Rules For Election to the National baseball Hall of Fame: Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there it is, the so-called \"character clause,\" which really is not a clause at all. And yet, by juicing and making a mockery of the record book, which is a much more sacred text in baseball than in any other sport, they impugned the character of the game, regardless of the legal ramifications, or lack thereof...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one hand, the Steroid Era happened, and Bonds and Clemens were the headliners from the batter's box and the pitcher's mound. Seven MVPs. Seven Cy Youngs. You can't ignore it, can't simply look the other way as baseball itself did at the time. Cooperstown is a living, breathing testament to the game, and to ignore the era would be a disservice to baseball's history...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line, what do you tell impressionable children about the short cuts taken with illegal-by-government-standards pharmaceutical help, and the lack of forthrightness coming from these players? To vote now for the likes of Bonds, Clemens and Sosa, let alone Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro, would serve as an endorsement of PED use, akin to telling kids it's OK to cheat the integrity of the game to get ahead, while playing Russian Roulette with your health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not to say I will never vote for a PED guy. The fog of time has a way of changing perspective and perhaps witnessing the shame of the Steroid players having to sit out a while before being voted into the Hall serves as a needed cautionary tale for those impressionable youths. \u003ca href=\"http://www.csnbayarea.com/blog/paul-gutierrez/more-questions-answers-hall-fame-ballot\" target=\"_blank\">Full post here\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In November, \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121121&content_id=40391402&vkey=news_sf&c_id=sf&tcid=tw_article_40391402\" target=\"_blank\">Bonds told MLB.com\u003c/a> that he did \"really care\" about making the Hall...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I do really care,\" Bonds said. \"I may say I don't, but I do really care.

The Linemakers at The Sporting News put the \u003ca href=\"http://linemakers.sportingnews.com/mlb/2012-11-30/mlb-hall-of-fame-odds-picks-jack-morris-barry-bonds-roger-clemens-craig-biggio\" target=\"_blank\">odds of Bonds being voted in\u003c/a>, as well as those for other steroids guy Roger Clemens, at 40-1. The column makes the chances of another Bay Area heavy hitter, Mark McGwire, who has failed to make the ballot every year since 2007, at 500-1. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the crux of the matter, from \u003ca href=\"http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/barry-bonds-roger-clemens-not-expected-to-make-hall-of-fame-on-first-try-1.4422491\" target=\"_blank\">Long Island Newsday\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This ballot is one of the most controversial in history. Headlined by seven-time MVP Barry Bonds and seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens, the field is part of a continuing referendum not on the gaudy numbers of some of the game's greatest players, but on the steroid era in which they played.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonds and Clemens, both on the ballot for the first time, are not expected to receive the necessary 75 percent of the vote from the eligible members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America because they have been linked to performance-enhancing drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slugger Sammy Sosa, another first-timer, also is likely to be snubbed because of his association with steroids. Voters have not been kind to steroid-tainted sluggers Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro, who are still on the ballot but never have not gotten close to enshrinement.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Even Major League Baseball's unofficial historian, Ken Burns, has an \u003ca href=\"http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ken-burns-clemens-bonds-baseball-409759\" target=\"_blank\">opinion on this\u003c/a>. The Hollywood Reporter asked him...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Hollywood Reporter: Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds and Mike Piazza are all on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. Would you vote for them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ken Burns: \u003c/strong>No.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THR: Ever?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ken Burns:\u003c/strong> I want them to suffer for a while.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THR: Even if they were good before they allegedly used steroids?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ken Burns: \u003c/strong>I think the argument is that without a doubt Clemens and Bonds should be in there, and at the highest levels. Barry Bonds may be the greatest baseball player of all time, and Roger Clemens -- maybe you’d get some arguments from the [\u003cstrong>Sandy\u003c/strong>] \u003cstrong>Koufax\u003c/strong>/[\u003cstrong>Pedro\u003c/strong>] \u003cstrong>Martinez\u003c/strong> sector and the \u003cstrong>Walter Johnson\u003c/strong> segment and the \u003cstrong>Nolan Ryan\u003c/strong> crowd -- but they are two of the very, very best. And before when we think they began taking, they’re Hall of Fame caliber. But at the same time, the problem is we don’t know who didn’t at all. I mean, I know one person in all of the Major Leagues I’m absolutely certain didn’t, and that’s \u003cstrong>Ichiro Suzuki\u003c/strong>. But other than that, I have no guarantee that anyone you loved and think is way above that didn’t do it. And that is why they need to wait and wait and wait. Because it makes it impossible for us to judge excellence in this era.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bonds of course was actually convicted of obstruction of justice related to his grand jury testimony about steroids. The jury, however, could not agree on whether Bonds had committed perjury when he testified that he never knowingly took steroids or human growth hormone, and the judge declared a mistrial. Bond was sentenced to 30 days of home detention on the obstruction charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HOF voter Paul Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area writes today that he did not vote for Bonds or the other steroids-connected players. Here's how his thinking on this issue went...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It would have been easy to simply plug my nose, close my eyes and make my mark in the boxes (with big scarlet letters?) next to their names... Sorry, couldn't do it. Not with a clear conscience, anyway...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, I was that conflicted as I faxed in my ballot on New Year's Eve. But this is not some overzealous moralist ploy with its flag planted in Rule 5 of the BBWAA Rules For Election to the National baseball Hall of Fame: Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there it is, the so-called \"character clause,\" which really is not a clause at all. And yet, by juicing and making a mockery of the record book, which is a much more sacred text in baseball than in any other sport, they impugned the character of the game, regardless of the legal ramifications, or lack thereof...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On one hand, the Steroid Era happened, and Bonds and Clemens were the headliners from the batter's box and the pitcher's mound. Seven MVPs. Seven Cy Youngs. You can't ignore it, can't simply look the other way as baseball itself did at the time. Cooperstown is a living, breathing testament to the game, and to ignore the era would be a disservice to baseball's history...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line, what do you tell impressionable children about the short cuts taken with illegal-by-government-standards pharmaceutical help, and the lack of forthrightness coming from these players? To vote now for the likes of Bonds, Clemens and Sosa, let alone Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro, would serve as an endorsement of PED use, akin to telling kids it's OK to cheat the integrity of the game to get ahead, while playing Russian Roulette with your health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not to say I will never vote for a PED guy. The fog of time has a way of changing perspective and perhaps witnessing the shame of the Steroid players having to sit out a while before being voted into the Hall serves as a needed cautionary tale for those impressionable youths. \u003ca href=\"http://www.csnbayarea.com/blog/paul-gutierrez/more-questions-answers-hall-fame-ballot\" target=\"_blank\">Full post here\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In November, \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121121&content_id=40391402&vkey=news_sf&c_id=sf&tcid=tw_article_40391402\" target=\"_blank\">Bonds told MLB.com\u003c/a> that he did \"really care\" about making the Hall...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"I do really care,\" Bonds said. \"I may say I don't, but I do really care. I've been through a lot in my life so not too many things bother me. Making the Hall of Fame, would it be something that's gratifying because of what I've sacrificed? Sure. Baseball has been a big part of our lives. We've sacrificed our bodies. It's the way we made our living.\" ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonds says that he wishes he had done some things differently. \"But I can't turn back the clock now,\" he said. \"Time has passed. Wounds for me have healed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, he wishes some people, including eligible members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America who will be casting their ballots in December, would forgive if not forget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't even know how to explain it. The world has become so negative,\" Bonds said. \"One day, I'll be able to say things the right way. But it's tough when you have so many people out there who don't want to turn the page and want to be angry at you forever. I don't understand why it continues on. What am I doing wrong?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can sit here and say, 'You know what? Baseball is great. I love it.' I can sit here and say in a very kind way that I'm sorry about the way things ended. I can sit here and say that I respect the Hall of Fame, which I do. But I don't understand all the controversy we're having about it. For what reason? What's there to be gained by all of this?

One recent law, the “sit-lie” ordinance, made it illegal to sit or lie down on city sidewalks. Some homeless people say this law takes away their right to dwell freely — essentially the right to be alive. How does one build a place of one’s own in a city where other opportunities are not available? We all have the need to create a sense of home, even in extreme circumstances. In these photos, the lines between public and private, urban and domestic, blur. They reveal the architecture of homelessness, and contribute to the understanding of a displaced people who make their own spaces.\u003c/p>\n\n",

How does one build a place of one’s own in a city where other opportunities are not available? We all have the need to create a sense of home, even in extreme circumstances. In these photos, the lines between public and private, urban and domestic, blur.
