Irish soigneur Emma O’Reilly finally gets Lance Armstrong apology
In a face-to-face meeting arranged by the Daily Mail, the drug cheat was confronted by the woman he labelled a prostitute.

IRISH SOIGNEUR EMMA O’REILLY has received the personal, and long sought after, apology from Lance Armstrong. Armstrong responded to her accusations about his drug cheating by labelling her a prostitiute and an alcoholic but has since held his hands up and admitted he was wrong.

O’Reilly, who was a masseuse on the U.S Postal team during Armstrong’s tainted reign as Tour de France champion, was one of the Texan cyclist’s biggest critics during his many years of denying his drug use. Armstrong was vociferous in his denials and often reserved the worst of his bile for the Irishwoman.

Following his admission, during an interview with Oprah Winfrey in January, of taking performance enhancing drugs, Armstrong said he would like to make it up to O’Reilly and confirmed that her claims against him had been correct.

The Daily Mail’s Matt Lawton arranged a face-to-face meeting between O’Reilly and Armstrong in the town of Celebration, Florida on Sunday. The personal apology from Armstrong was forthcoming.

1. Another step..

... in the PR rehabilitation of Armstrong.

I'm happy that she got her apology but I still never want to see Armstrong in competition again.

2. He owes her more than that.

Because of his pathological abuse of her through his statements, he ruined her career. She was barely able to find any jobs. At times, she couldn't.

His use of PEDs was one thing. Lance would have been reviled for that. I personally never liked him. However, his nasty, personal campaigns against other people made him a true villain. I don't think he can apologize for that enough.
