David Walsh, The Sunday Times reporter who led the way in exposing drugs cheat Lance Armstrong, wants a third meeting with the US cyclist to address unanswered questions over the doping scandal.

Armstrong told chat show host Oprah Winfrey that he would be willing to apologise to the reporter. During the second part of the Oprah interview broadcast over the weekend, Armstrong was asked: “Do you owe David Walsh an apology, who for 13 years has pursued this story, who wrote for The Sunday Times, who has now written books about your story and about this entire process?”

Armstrong replied: “I’d apologise to David.”
