NEW YORK -- Lance Armstrong finally admitted on Thursday that he used performance enhancing drugs during his cycling career.

As expected, he confessed to cheating in the first part of a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey that was recorded three days earlier at his hometown of Austin, Texas.

"Yes," he replied when asked directly whether he used performance enhancing drugs.

He also said "yes" to a series of questions about whether he used specific drugs, including erythropoietin and blood doping.

He already lost his 2000 Olympic medal and likely be forced to pay back his winnings from the 7 Tour de France titles.

The real gut punch will be the withdrawal of key sponsors and endorsment deals which will spell financial disaster for Armstrong.

All too late. He should hang himself since he fooled everyone for too long. Many idolized him only to find out he was a fraud. Can he be sued by his ex-sponsors?

So why now?

Damage control. Image rehab. Avoidance of prosecution by cooperating with authorities. Possibility of reinstatement in competitions. Book deal.

The noose has tightened and he can't intimidate, sue or lie his way out of it anymore.

This is like Ricky Martin admitting that he is gay.
