Lance Armstrong confessed to using performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, reversing more than a decade of denial.

Lance Armstrong will admit to doping in his upcoming interview with Oprah Winfrey, multiple sources are reporting. Armstrong, who has been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency brought forth a case in October that included evidence of cheating, has agreed to a "no-holds-barred" interview with Winfrey, who will broadcast the event Thursday on her Oprah Winfrey Network as well as streaming at oprah.com.

Attorneys for Lance Armstrong have demanded an on-air apology from "60 Minutes" after the head of Switzerland's anti-doping laboratory denied allegations the seven-time Tour de France winner tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs at the 2001 Tour de Suisse.
