Armstrong admits journalist deserves apology

The second segment of Oprah Winfrey's interview with Lance Armstrong was never going to contain the same level of fireworks but it did produce a hint of the anticipated waterworks.

During almost an hour of conversation that covered the disgraced former bike rider's family and the financial implications of his fall from grace, Armstrong described the moment he told his 13-year-old son to stop defending him, recalled the 24-hour period during which he estimated he lost $75m of endorsements and, most controversially of all, denied he had offered a $250k donation to the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).
