There have been varying coments in Europe in reaction to the Lance Armstrong-Oprah Winfrey interview.
Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee has said that it’s a sad story. But he said one needs to look at it as an opportunity, a turning point for a new spirit in cycling. He hopes the fight against doping will intensify and that the sport will renew. He hopes that Lance will be part of the fight.
There has been criticism of Jan Ullrich for refusing to follow Armstrong’s example and break his silence about doping. He was convicted by TAS (the Tribunal de Arbitral du Sport) in February 2012 and all his results since 2005 were annulled.
