Ending years of denial, champion cyclist Lance Armstrong admits he cheated his way to his record seven Tour de France titles.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (English) TV CHATSHOW PRESENTER, OPRAH WINFREY, SAYING:<br/> <br />"Yes or no. In all seven of your Tour De France victories did you ever take banned substances or blood dope?''<br/> <br />LANCE ARMSTRONG: "Yes"<br/> <br />Now, many who once supported the athlete are outraged.<br/> <br />Journalist Pierre Ballester, co-author of 'L.A. Confidential: Lance Armstrong's Secrets' said even now he thinks Armstrong is withholding some truth.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (English) JOURNALIST AND CO-AUTHOR OF 'LA CONFIDENTIAL: LANCE ARMSTRONG'S SECRETS,' PIERRE BALLESTER, SAYING:<br/> <br />"To me he even lied because when he said he went back in 2009 on Tour de France he said he never doped. On the USADA survey they just said the contrary."<br/> <br />Pierre Bordry, the former head of the French anti-doping agency, agreed the confessions didn't go far enough.<br/> <br />He wants more details about how the doping occurred in order to rescue the reputation of cycling as a sport.<br/> <br />And former Armstrong masseuse Emma O'Reilly, who tried to expose Armstrong's doping in 2003 but was sued by him for her efforts, wants a full out apology.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (English) LANCE ARMSTRONG'S FORMER MASSEUSE, EMMA O'REILLY, SAYING:<br/> <br />"One part of me was like, 'this is great', but the other part was 'you know what, the little runt'. I wanted to hit him across the head, drag him up to Manchester to apologise to people close to me, and eyeball them and apologise to them."<br/> <br />But she said she had no plans to sue.<br/> <br />Armstrong described himself as a "flawed character" when confessing his doping to Winfrey, but said he had never considered himself to be a cheat.
