It’s the announcement we all knew was coming, but still can’t believe.

After widespread reports started circulating Monday night, Oprah went on the record this morning saying that Lance Armstrong admitted to her that he used performance-enhancing drugs.

He made the shocking confession during an interview to air Thursday on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Oprah appeared on CBS This Morning to talk about the experience.

Winfrey explained that while he “did not come clean in the manner that [she] expected,” she was “satisfied by the answers.”

Hours before the interview, the seven-time Tour de France winner reportedly apologized for his actions to several members of the Livestrong foundation.

Here are a few other tidbits from Oprah’s big interview.

• At the end of the interview, both Winfrey and Armstrong were exhausted and satisfied.
• Armstrong’s lawyers were not in the room during the interview taping.
