Winfrey opened the program by simply asking for “Yes” or “No” questions. And Armstrong, seated in an upholstered chair across from her in a navy blazer and light blue shirt, ticked off one affirmation after another. He had used EPO, blood doping, transfusions, testosterone and human growth hormone in one cocktail or another to elevate his strength and endurance for each Tour win from 1999 to 2005.
At the time, Armstrong said, he didn’t view it as wrong. Nor did he fear getting caught, given the fact that the sport didn’t test athletes during the off-season and his own wiles about following a schedule that ensured no trace of the substances would be in his system during races themselves.
