The 41-year-old cyclist when Oprah asked why he came forward now, Lance replied, "I don't know that I have a great answer. I will start now by saying this is too late ... I view this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times ... I am a flawed character."
He added, "I didn't invent the [doping] culture, but I did nothing to stop the culture ... and I am sorry for that."
Lance said he began using EPO (erythropoietin) -- a hormone that enhances red blood cell production -- in the mid 90s.
When asked if he was ever afraid he'd be caught -- Lance replied, "No…"if it felt wrong at the time -- Lance replied, "No." …he felt like he was cheating -- he replied, "No ... I viewed it as a level playing field."
He added, "My cocktail was only EPO ... not a lot ... transfusions and testosterone."
Lance -- who referred to his former self as "an arrogant pr*ck" -- isn't shocked by the outrage over his lies and deceit ... saying, "I deserve it."
