According to Daily mail Lance Armstrong last night reportedly admitted using performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France. The disgraced cyclist is said to have confessed in an interview with American TV chat show queen Oprah Winfrey which is scheduled to be broadcast on Thursday.
Armstrong earlier visited the staff of his charity at the Texas offices to apologise for putting their work at risk. Several employees cried when he told them: ‘I’m sorry.’ He promised he would try to restore the foundation’s reputation - before meeting his legal team to prepare for the Oprah interview.

Armstrong reportedly spoke to a room full of about 100 staff members for about 20 minutes, expressing regret for everything the controversy has put them through.
He told them how much the foundation means to him and that he considers the people who work there to be like members of his family. None of the people in the room challenged Armstrong over his long denials of doping.

After the interview, Winfrey tweeted: 'Just wrapped with @lancearmstrong More than 2 1/2 hours. He came READY!' Winfrey and her crew planned on filming Monday's session at Armstrong's home. As a result, local and international news crews were camped near the cyclist's Spanish-style villa before dawn.
Armstrong still managed to slip away for a run despite the crowds outside his home. He returned by cutting through a neighbour's yard and hopping a fence.
