Report: Lance Armstrong confesses to doping

Lance Armstrong has reportedly confessed to Oprah Winfrey that he took performance-enhancing drugs during his cycling career.

According to the Associated Press, the 41-year-old admitted to doping during the interview with the American talk show host.

The interview, which will be broadcast on Winfrey's network on Thursday, was filmed in an Austin hotel.

Armstrong was found guilty of taking illegal substances by the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) last year and was stripped of all the seven Tour de France titles he won during his career.

Armstrong was also banned from cycling for life by the International Cycling Union.
