Gary's Thought:
This interview with Betsy Andreu was done before Lance's interview with Opra in early January 2013. Betsy was interviewed by many news agencies after Lance's Opra interview but none of them went as deep into Betsy's story as this interview.  The best part of this interview is when Betsy talks about how her Catholic faith helped her through this fight for the truth. A fight she could have dropped (like many other people did) and her and her family would have greatly benefited financially. None of us know for sure what we would do if we were put in a situation like this, but Betsy is a great example of how I hope I would have had the strength to respond.

Topic: Lance Armstrong's Former Friend Speaks Out About Athlete's Use of Performance Enhancing Drugs
For some of those who knew Lance Armstrong the best, his fall from grace amid doping allegations is no surprise at all. Betsy Andreu, a former family friend to Armstrong says Armstrong is the “Bernie Madoff” of the sporting world. Andreu says Armstrong played the world and the media for years while knowingly taking performance enhancing drugs. Betsy joins us to discuss how she and Armstrong had a falling out when she refused to lie about something she heard while visiting Armstrong in the hospital at the time he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
