The interview apparently went on for a full two-and-a-half hours and will be edited down to 90 minutes, but fortunately, the only thing that matters has leaked, and it fits easily in a single tweet. According to an AP source, Armstrong confessed to Oprah that he did indeed use performance-enhancing drugs. Following the earlier tearful stops on his apology tour, who expected that bombshell, aside from every person on earth?
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — AP Source: Lance Armstrong confesses to Oprah Winfrey that he used performance-enhancing drugs.

Frankly, I'm still more shocked about the news that Al Roker pooped his pants at the White House than I am that Lance Armstrong doped.

This is not breaking!!! “@newstalk1010: BREAKING: AP Source says Lance Armstrong admits he used performance enhancing drugs

I'm not sure Lance Armstrong's admission is worthy of prime-time. It's like admitting the Pope is Catholic. #NoNewsHere

Lance Armstrong admitting to doping surprises me as much as if LeBron James admitted he was balding.

"I AM SO SHOCKED LANCE ARMSTRONG USED PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS!" …said nobody ever.

This just in, worst kept secret, worse than Marrone as #Bills coach. Armstrong tells Oprah he doped, reports @USAToday http://t.co/h1qD58sQ

Really don't care about Lance Armstrong's confession, we already knew. Let me know when OJ is ready, then I will pay attention.

Lance Armstrong apparently admitted to doping. In other news, OJ has been acquitted of murder.

Lance Armstrong was doping? *gasp* What's next? Finding out that Pete Rose bet on baseball?

Lance Armstrong confession is as interesting as OJ admitting guilt. We knew you were a lying narcissist long ago. Stop giving him attention.

And so begins Lance Armstrong's carefully orchestrated attempt to apologise his way back to having a career.

Raise your hand if Lance Armstrong's confession is actually shocking or surprising news.
— Amelia Stanley (@Reeses2020) January 15, 2013
OK, it is news to some people who wanted to believe Armstrong was telling the truth.
I really thought @lancearmstrong was being honest about not doping. Guess I was the dope for believing him. #disappointed #liar

Lance Armstrong admits to cheating is not really the surprise. The surprise is that it took him this long.

Speaking of taking a long time, who else is sitting down for an interview this month?
