Armstrong interview takes Bertie route

IF he was so minded, Lance Armstrong could have looked to these shores for the model confession.

For those of you not up to speed, an interview with Armstrong, by Oprah Winfrey, was broadcast over the last two nights. In it, the seven-time winner of the Tour de France — titles of which he has since been stripped — provided a confession of sorts.

He admitted that he took performance-enhancing drugs through the seven tours that he won.
