However, that summer, Clinton admitted he had an “improper physical relationship” with Lewinsky. Lance Armstrong The world-class biker, long suspected of doping, issued several emphatic denials. But he was singing a different tune in January 2013, confessing to Oprah Winfrey. “All the fault and all the blame here falls on me,” Armstrong said. “I viewed this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times. I made my decisions. They are my mistakes, and I am sitting here today to acknowledge that and to say I’m sorry for that.” Rafael Palmeiro In March 2005, Palmeiro went before Congress and said, “Let me start by telling you this: I have never used steroids. Period. I don’t know how to say it any more clearly than that. Never.” That August, Palmeiro was suspended for 10 days for violating Major League Baseball’s steroid policy, but said he did not “intentionally” take steroids and “could not explain” how the illegal substance got into his body.
