Lance Armstrong apologizes to staff of Livestrong foundation, stops short of saying he used banned drugs

Well, yeah, he’s gotta save something for the exclusive, hyped-to-the-max Oprah interview! As Twitchy told you last week, disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong will appear on the talk show queen’s network set to air on Jan. 17.
Jerk alert! Cheated on his wife & on the bike. MT @SportsCenter Lance Armstrong plans to admit to doping in interview w/ Oprah Winfrey.

Reminder: Lance Armstrong didn't just lie about doping, he was a bully and a jerk to everyone: http://t.co/OIq3rAFg

Livestrong official tells ABC News… Lance Armstrong just apologized to staff ahead of Oprah interview.

Livestrong official would not comment on whether Armstrong admitted doping. But he did take questions from staff.

The Livestrong visit seems to be part of an "apology tour" ahead of Oprah interview.
— Neal Karlinsky (@NealKarlinsky) January 14, 2013
Well, duh. Armstrong is getting all his long-overdue, cynically-timed apologies out of the way in time for the huge Oprah-enabled publicity blitz. Pesky gestures. But crocodiles can turn on the tears and sorrow on cue.

Wonder if the cameras will be rolling for this:
Hardest part of Lance Armstrong's coming clean is how he apologizes to all those he viciously attacked for saying he doped.

Nice of Lance Armstrong to lie repeatedly, including under oath, about his use of PEDs but to finally tell the truth. What a jerk.

Am I the only person insulted by Lance Armstrong's cynical comeback attempt by admitting to doping?
— Scott Ferrell (@ScottFerrell) January 14, 2013
We bet Armstrong’s performance on Oprah will rival any Golden Globe award winner’s. Prepare the Livestrong-branded tissue boxes.

Update: Jaundice-eyed observers of the Lance Armstrong circus are suggesting other possible Lance Armstrong confessions.
