As an expert in deception, there is nothing more cathartic than hearing someone who has the guts to set the record straight and speak the truth–especially when they’ve been threatened as I believe Tygart has been.
He spoke candidly and openly why you shouldn’t believe Armstrong and I commend him for coming forward as it was not an easy thing to do. I feel for Tygart because speaking out against the uber-rich doesn’t usually come without consequences when they have the power to make you pay, as it is clear Lance has done to others many times over.
When athletes get so wealthy and have such incredible earning power, don’t fool yourself folks, they have an incredible edge to push boundaries, avoid consequences and get things done that ordinary people can’t. They have the power to make things “go away”. While I think many things are kept hidden far more than we’ll ever know, I don’t think any were as brazen at Lance Armstrong.
Isn’t it interesting how Lance Armstrong told us in his interview with Oprah how he didn’t feel he deserved a lifetime ban from cycling (aka “the death penalty), but he refuses to play by the rules like everyone else and confess under oath the truth? No, he wants an exception again!
Thank you Travis Tygart for having the guts, conviction and courage to stand on the truth.

Look at the face of Lance Armstrong in his interview with Oprah last night. Do you see a man who is upset and hurting that he viciously bullied people and treated not only his friends and teammates pathetically, but he lied to the world? Does his face show any regret?
While I would never rely on a still shot to tell me the whole story, Lance has no problem cracking a smile through his entire interview, and worse, he didn’t show an ounce of sadness or regret the entire time. Instead he flashes contempt several times over. Watch this clip.
Yeah sure, Lance sat down with Oprah and decided to state the obvious for which he could no longer deny to any sane person, but was he sorry for what he did? I don’t believe so. Was he sorry he got caught and is paying the ultimate price? I believe so.
Lance seems actually pleased with what he could pull of, if you ask me. He is still arrogant, which is one of my biggest indicators someone a high propensity to lie. He is nowhere near humble–even with all he has been through–which is shocking if you ask me.
And worse, I has highly disturbed that Lance admitted in so many words that he lacked a conscience. When he was asked if he ever felt wrong about what he did, he said no. When he was asked if he ever felt bad about it, he replied no–scarier. When Oprah asked did you ever feel like you were cheating? He said no — scariest. Yes, this is very scary as he should feel differently now, but clearly his emotions support that he feels the exact same way as he always did. He feels no guilt, shame or regret. That’s chilling!
While Lance said some of the right words, he also was still notably evasive and refused to discuss certain topics or people. When someone comes clean — all the way clean — they don’t use these tactics, and these were tactics. When it came to talking about Betsy Andreau, look at what Lance said, “I don’t want to take that on.” His words say it all. Is that the response of someone who is coming clean and honest? I don’t think you need me to answer that. He also didn’t want to talk about Dr. Ferrari.
Lance also wanted us to believe he just gave the UCI two checks for $125,000 but they were not to influence his drug test results. When Oprah pointedly asked him in the interview why he gave the money to the organization since we know now know his original reason was a lie, Lance struggled to answer the question. Lance struggles to answer several questions–clearly stuttering for words. He finally said “because they asked me too”. I don’t think anyone will ever buy that–and he wants us to accept his apology?
Lance tells us who he is and the picture he himself paints of himself is of someone who is ugly, flawed and untrustworthy. He even says, “I’m a flawed character…” As Oprah always says, when someone tells you who they are believe them!
Check back for more. As I see snippets of the interview, I may analyze some for you in the coming days.

This week, Lance Armstrong, is going to sit down with Oprah Winfrey and he is going to confess to doping, say news reports. They also say he will apologize. It will be interesting to watch to say the least! As soon as someone gets footage, please send it to me!
When Lance stripped of his titles in June 2012, I wrote about him here, seeking videos which showed Lance denying doping. For those who shared those videos with me, I shared with you that I did not believe Lance.
And then 60 Minutes did a piece on Lance Armstrong at the end of October, and interviewed two women who said they knew of Amstrong’s doping, and I absolutely believed them.
When people spoke out against Lance, he always wanted everyone to believe that these people were bitter, and the liars and he was the truth-sayer. Shameful.
I personally think Lance’s fame and acceptance from this has dropped so dramatically, he feels he has no choice now but to save face. I think its a little late, but better now than never.
I hope you enjoy my insight. I work hard to be the BEST source for the truth on the web before the truth is known.

As many of you have heard, Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his 7 Tour de France tour wins and has been banned from the sport. If anyone sees Lance speak on this, please let me know. From what I have read, he is throwing in the towel, which does not support honesty, if you ask me.
Tyler Hamilton spoke out in May of last year, and I analyzed him. I do believe he was telling the truth
https://www.eyesforlies.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/black-logo-smaller.jpg00Eyes for Lieshttps://www.eyesforlies.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/black-logo-smaller.jpgEyes for Lies2012-08-24 15:02:002012-08-24 15:02:00Lance Armstrong Stripped of Titles
When Tyler Hamilton is asked by Scott Pelley about Lance Armstrong using performance enhancing drugs, we see Tyler give a contempt expression before answering. He says, “He took what we all took. I’d say there is really no difference between Lance Armstrong and the majority of the Peloton, you know. There was EPO, there was testosterone. And I did see a transfusion…a blood transfusion.”
Tyler’s expression of contempt here makes sense given the scenario. Everyone touted Lance Armstrong as the hero and Tyler knows he wasn’t. That breeds contempt.
Scott Pelley asks, “He was using EPO in the Tour De France in 1999?” Tyler thinks and says, “Correct.”
Pelley says, “He was using EPO in the Tour de France in the year 2000?” Tyler responds, “He used it before to prepare for the tour.”
Then Scott Pelley says, “And what about the tour in 2001?” Tyler responds, “He used it to prepare for the tour. I can’t say that he used it during the tour.” I believe Tyler when he says this. I think he is clarifying the truth here.
I think Tyler is conflicted to a degree in this interview because as some of you have pointed out, he didn’t see Lance Armstrong do the performance enhancing drugs all the time (athletes don’t have doping parties), but he knew it was part of the team regimen, he knew it was going on and he knew who was taking it through talking, but he may not have witnessed a lot of it. It makes me wonder if he embellishes some stories to become more believable, out of insecurities.
Tyler does give us a lot of shoulder shrugs and has a habit of shaking his head no a lot when he talks. It makes him a difficult read. If you watch Tyler in the beginning of the interview when he says if he could have deleted his memory, he would have. I believe this is a true statement, and yet, he gives us shoulder shrugs and head shakes. It could be Tyler’s insecurities that are shining through here. Who wouldn’t be insecure after doing something like this?
Outside of Tyler’s statements on 60 Minutes, there are many questionable elements to Lance Armstrong’s behavior that support Tyler:
1). Lance Armstrong was affiliated with a doctor, Michele Ferrari, through 2010 after the doctor was convicted of distributing performance enhancing drugs (though I believe that conviction was overturned).
2). Several other top athletes on Armstrong’s team support Tyler’s story. When more than one person comes out against someone, there is usually truth and merit in the story.
3). Lance Armstrong made donations to the governing body of cyclists, the UCI, which is unethical. He has contributed over $125,000 to the organization and according to 60 Minutes, no other cyclist has done this.
4). Lance Armstrong met with the director of the Swiss lab, where there was a supposed “suspicious” test result that disappeared.
All the evidence combined tells me there is definitely credence in Tyler Hamilton’s story.
