It's a revelation that will shock the cycling world to its very core: Lance Armstrong was actually clean. By showing up on the set of Oprah to tell the world that after years of denying he did it, that he actually did do it, Lance Armstrong has done nothing more than to force everyone to shift their belief in him.
You see, nobody believes anything Armstrong says anymore. He could tell you that the world was round and you would suddenly tread carefully with the fear that you might stumble off the edge and into the abyss at any minute, such is the man's credibility right now.
To hear Armstrong utter the worlds, "I took performance enhancing drugs," during his interview tomorrow night will be confirmation than he actually has, in fact, NOT taken drugs.
All this will serve to do is cloud the whole situation further and put pressure on the USADA and UCI to reinstate his titles and lift the lifetime ban he is currently serving. And what will that mean for all those who testified against him?
But be careful. The Cycle Seen has learned that this was a ploy by Armstrong all along, to make everyone think that he was still lying thus allowing him back into the sport. Saying that, I have yet to establish how he could perform such a fine stroke of reverse psychology given that it would require him to at one point tell the truth. What I mean is that to say the words "I took performance enhancing drugs" would be factually true, something that Armstrong is not physically capable of.
I once read that if Lance Armstrong were to tell the truth it could lead to two possibilities: One, telling the truth would put him into shock and he'd simply pass out. Or two, the action could create a time paradox. The results of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe!... Granted, that's the worst-case scenario. The destruction however might be limited merely to our own galaxy.
You see as Peter Griffin once said on Family Guy when he stated that he was excited to go into space like 'Lance Armstrong' only to be told that it was 'Neil Armstrong':
"He lied about his name too?"
