Armstrong Once Predicted His Possible End

The disgraced cyclist, Lance Armstrong, once eerily forecasted what all would happen to him if he ever got caught in a doping scandal. He said he would be losing all his sponsors and people who trust him, even cancer survivors.

Armstrong said so under oath in deposition testimony from 2005. CNN now will broadcast portions of it after obtaining the video of that testimony as part of its documentary, "The World According to Lance Armstrong."

For more than a decade, the cyclist has denied doping but this time the cyclist is under oath and possibly committing perjury in a dramatic show of defiance for the world to see.

The video provides further context and takes on new meaning in light of recent events even though much of the content of his testimony previously was made public in writing.

"What the testimony shows is Lance Armstrong's willingness to perjure himself - and not just once but repeatedly, again and again and again," said Quentin McDermott, who reported the documentary. "What it also demonstrates very clearly is his willingness to smear and vilify those eyewitnesses who were prepared to tell the truth."

When asked what would happen if he were found to be guilty of doping and whether sponsorship agreements would go away, he said, "All of them," Armstrong testified on Nov. 30, 2005. "And the faith of all the cancer survivors around the world. So everything I do off of the bike would go away too. And don't think for a second I don't understand that. It's not about money for me. Everything. It's also about the faith that people have put in me over the years. So all of that would be erased. So I don't need it to say in a contract you're fired if you test positive. That's not as important as losing the support of hundreds of millions of people."
