Lance Armstrong finally admitted he took steroids, and he told the Queen of Media, Oprah, which will be revealed in an upcoming interview.

For years Armstrong denied the claim, but who would be a better person to confess this to than O?

Before Armstrong biked his way to the truth, there have been plenty of other athletes who have denied using performance-enhancing drugs.

This is how the story usually goes: excel at sport –> win championship –> get accused of using steroids –> deny claims –> dirty secret gets exposed –> deny some more –> gets side eye from the world –> finally admit –> gets stripped of winnings –> cry –> write a book.

Take a look at some of the athletes who lied about taking steroids and got caught.
