Dick Pound?! Bwahahaha! 
ETA:
If it weren’t your daughter you were talking about, I might be tempted to make a Dick Pound joke. Oh, ooops! Sorry. 
Um no, not by a long shot, his relationship with his wife ended years before he and Cheryl Crow even met.
He reminds me of Pete Rose, lies upon lies upon lies, for years on end. Then, when finally forced to admit the truth cannot understand why people can’t just ‘forgive and forget’. Douchebag straight up.
And what’s with all this implying he wants to compete again? I thought he was barred from doing so ever again. But people seem to feel if he ‘owns’ it, he’ll be allowed back. I don’t think, after lying for years and years, suing people, being ruthless toward those who spoke out against you, etc, finally revealing the truth is actually ‘owning’ it.
So can he ever go back to competing, or not?
Heh.
“I would say he didn’t come clean in the manner I expected,” Oprah Winfrey said, plugging her interview.
Unexpected and riveting, she says?
Do you think we’ll see Lance Armstrong eating Crow on national television?

So today’s the day. It’s going to be a two hour interview? That’s no ordinary interview- that’s an interview on steroids.
Really, why all the fuss over a sport that nobody gives a rat’s ass about? Sure, it gets about 15 seconds of air on your local news about 3-4 times a year, wherein your local sports anchor tries to sound real international and calls it the Tour de Frawwwnce, but other than that one event nobody but nobody cares.
Not quite sure why you’re throwing Bradley Wiggins into this mess?
I’m sort of torn by the housecleaning going on here. Part of me very much wants the vindictive loser to name names all the way to the top, and it’s likely that whatever he says there’s going to be lots of nasty skeletons coming out:

It would be a great thing for the future of cycling if Armstrong helped to take down Verbruggen and Pat McQuaid, whose stewardship of the sport was at best incompetent and at worst deliberately aided cheating. They have to go.
But I’d rather see this cleanup happen without losing Olympic sport status. For starters, I’ve not seen anything to suggest that Olympic cycling (which is far from the big money status of the Tour) has anything like the same issue with cheating. It’s the equivalent of dropping boxing as an Olympic sport because of issues with Pro boxing.
“You came for a scause to wear on your paws.
And you want others to wear yours upon thars’.”
No. Armstrong and his wife Kristin filed for divorce in September 2003 and the divorce was finalized in December. It’s not clear exactly when Armstrong began dating Crow (they first met in October 2003) but they publicly announced that they had been dating for several months in January 2004.
So it appears that Armstrong didn’t leave his wife for Sheryl Crow. But he met Crow right after he left his wife and they were apparently dating during the divorce process.
No specific reason, just that he’s the current golden boy, won a TDF cleanly and has been very vocal and scathing in his comment on Armstrong. If the leopard doesn’t change his spots then I’d expect Armstrong to continue trying to smear people like Wiggins just out of spite.
How long is the limitation period for perjury in the Us? Can all victims off his perjury suits appeal and have the satisfaction of seeing him charged or has he succeeded in keeping the lie going for long enough to escape liability?
Now I’m really angry at Lance. Although I do understand his lying now. Hey Sheryl, I never doped either!
He is a celebrity and there is still money to be made and women to bed. I’ll get off Lance’s back when I don’t see him on TV anymore.
He didn’t testify under oath very often, just once that I know of where he said he didn’t use PEDs.
Probably about the time when people stop blowing EVERYTHING that ever happens out of proportion. In other words, not any time soon. 
Kind of like a guy who commits rape or murder just once, just to see if he likes the way it makes him feel. Nothing wrong with that!
Once would be enough though. And didn’t Jeffrey Archer go to jail for having his secretary vlie for him? Still interested in the possibility of appeals as well. Surely he’d have to pay back any damages he received plus interest.
I don’t think he can be charged with perjury - statute of limitations. It’s also too late for some of the legal awards he’s received, although not all of them. I am sure all of that factors into the timing of his confession. He would never come clean if it meant he might go to jail over it.
Is that how it works? I thought the Statute of Limitations clock only starts when a crime is discovered. Presumably in this case, that would be once LA admits he was lying.
So back to my original question - what is the limitation period for this sort of thing? And when does the block start running if there was an intentional cover up?
Fuck that. The last thing we need is this drama muscling out actual news. Keep him with Oprah.
Keep in mind we’re talking civil law here not criminal law. The general principle is that the statute of limitations only begins when the plaintiff could have knowledge that he had been harmed. So if anyone has a case against Armstrong based on his denial of drug use, the clock would presumably have just started running when it was established that he had used drugs. With that said, you usually have one year to initiate a lawsuit (it varies from state to state).
Great thanks for that. And the limitation period for any criminal charges would be?
