I don't think he doped, but I do think he used a transfusion. So, I clicked yes.
(and that's as a long serving member of the Armstrong fan club, even in denial after the allegations were admitted. In fact, sod it, he's still innocent. He's been brainwashed and bullied into this, bullied, I tell you)

[QUOTE 3170345, member: 45"]He answered yes to all of Oprah's questions. Why would this time. Be different?[/QUOTE]
No he didn't, he wouldn't answer the question about the conversation, regarding taking performance enhancing drugs, in his hospital room when he was being treated for cancer.

Betsy is still fuming over that...
The former seems in no way related to the latter to me.
He was asked the question and did not give a yes or no answer.
Which doesn't mean that he wasn't doping in 2009

I'm curious to know how you've managed to separate those two in your head
Probably because my understanding is completely off!
I thought that transfusions worked by taking blood with elevated Red blood cells (after rest periods) and then adding it at a later stage to boost the total number of Red blood cells when needed. Therefore, no drugs used, but still cheating.
Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong! (as I often am)

Didn't think of that, thought it was used to get rid of the extra blood cells.. But yours is a better way..
No you're right but it's still doping, blood doping is the commonly used term. You don't necessarily need to use drugs to dope.
Confused.
My reply is to the post about Armstrong answering all of Oprah's questions.
Well, you didn't quote anyone, and so I assumed you were answering the thread title/ OP. Apologies. I do have a number of members on Ignore, so don't always know what people are responding to if they don't use the quote function (why on earth is it called Reply on this forum?)
My original reply does have the quote I was replying to.
