Had no idea tbh. I assume the test was attributed to has testicular cancer? I don't remember if that was before or after he got busted. I'm surprised by the HGH though. Doesn't seem like something I would consider a pro biker taking, although I know it can have tons of health benefits.
he basically said that he felt as if his back was to the wall and that cancer turned him into a fighter, but he wasn't sad about "cheating" but about letting those who believed in him down.
looking into it, if anybody wants to read more about his "confession" on Oprah:
http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/cycling/21066354"Did you ever take banned substances to enhance cycling performance?"
"Yes."
"Was one of those substances EPO?"
"Yes."
"Did you use any other banned substances?"
"Yes."
In the interview, broadcast on the Discovery Channel in the UK, Armstrong then admitted to taking performance-enhancing drugs Erythropoietin (EPO), testosterone, cortisone and human growth hormone as well as having blood transfusions.
He continued: "All the fault and blame is on me and a lot of that is momentum and I lost myself in all that. I couldn't handle it. The story is so bad and toxic and a lot of it is true."
