If you missed the part one of the interview, here are five things that you should know about it.
Armstrong admits to using performance enhancing substances for all seven Tour de France wins.
Lance-Oprah starts with a series of yes/no questions. Admits to doping. Says he could not have won seven titles without it.

Lance says it's not possible to win seven straight Tours without doping.

Armstrong says he did not dope during the 2009 and 2010 tours.
Lance says he stopped doping in 2005 before the "biological passport."

Lance says 2005 is the last time he doped. Said he was did clean in 2009 and 2010. That's the narrative he'll push hard.

People ask why Lance said did not dope in 2009-10, but did 99-05. May hope to improve reinstatement shot vis a vis statute of limitations

So right after Lance says you can't win the Tour clean he says he was clean for his comeback?

Admits he was a bully.
"What made you a bully?" Lance says he wanted to control the outcome. He says he would "basically" stop at nothing to win.

Oprah: "Were you a bully?" Lance: "Yeah, I was a bully. I was a bully in the sense that I tried to control the narrative."

He did not apologise in full to Betsy Andreu and Emma O'Reilly.
Oprah teed Lance up for a full apology to the Andreus and Emma O'Reilly and he passed. Just passed.Amazing.

Lance Armstrong's answers on Betsy Andreu and Emma O'Reilly will haunt him long after this airs. Devoid of any empathy.
— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) January 18, 2013
Armstrong may have admitted to doping in all the seven Tours that he won, but he didn't admit to the 1996 hospital room confession that Betsy Andreu witnessed. Cycling bloggers had a few theories as to why.
Reason he cannot confirm hospital room? Because people lied for him about it....under oath

He did not believe cheating was wrong while he was doing it.
RT @benstandig: Lance Armstrong tells Oprah he did not believe he was cheating while he was cheating. #costanzatheory

Lance looked up the word "cheating" in the dictionary and was comforted. The word didn't apply to him, he said. I am not making this up.
