Oprah Winfrey And Lance Armstrong: A Worldwide Exclusive Airs Saturday, January 19, On OSN’s Discovery Channel HD
OSN viewers will have the opportunity to catch the much talked about exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey and Lance Armstrong, “Oprah and Lance Armstrong: The Worldwide Exclusive,” this Saturday, and hear from the disgraced former cyclist in his first interview since the doping scandal that ruined his career. The interview will be shown as a two-part special, premiering back-to-back on Saturday, January 19 from 10.30pm UAE time on OSN’s Discovery Channel HD (OSN channel 500).
In this exclusive interview Armstrong will address the alleged doping scandal, years of accusations of cheating and charges of lying about the use of performance-enhancing drugs throughout his storied cycling career.
Winfrey speaks with Armstrong in the only interview since the seven-time Tour de France winner was stripped of his titles and dropped from millions of dollars in endorsement deals after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released an extensive report accusing the renowned cyclist of doping throughout his career.
Armstrong was given a lifetime ban on competing professionally. Late last year, Armstrong resigned as chairman of the foundation he created, Livestrong, which has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in the fight against cancer.
Following the interview which was taped at Lance’s home in Austin, Texas on Monday, January 14, Winfrey tweeted: Just wrapped with @lancearmstrong More than 2 1/2 hours. He came READY! Tune in exclusively on OSN’s Discovery Channel HD this Saturday.
