Lance Armstrong has challenged Paul Kimmage to interview him on stage at an event in Dublin in coming days.
Lance Armstrong has challenged nemesis Paul Kimmage to interview him live on stage when he appears at an event in Dublin next month.
The disgraced former pro cyclist and doping ring leader took to Twitter late last night to suggest Kimmage be the one to interview him at the One Zero Conference in Dublin in the RDS, Ballsbridge, on October 21st.
Kimmage replied that Armstrong was confusing him with “one of those muppets that used to dance to your tune”.
However, he later said he would sit down with Armstrong for an interview, just not on the terms the drugs cheat has suggested.
Spare a thought for journalist Ewan McKenna in all of this – he’s the guy who is booked to interview Armstrong on stage at next month’s event.
But the organisers seemed willing to bring Kimmage into the job, only for Kimmage to insist McKenna was a fine journalist and that his contract should be honoured.
Ouch!
Sport for Business, a company that seeks to marry sport and commercial interests, revealed last month Armstrong would be interviewed live on stage at its new One Zero Conference.
The Twitter exchange
Hey @PaulKimmage, here's a thought. How about you and I do the interview @OneZeroCon?
