"UPDATE: The first screening of the interview has now aired on the east coast and online. See reactions here.\nBefore Manti Te'o girlfriend-gate came along, sports fans were captivated this week by the build-up to cyclist Lance Armstrong's interview with Oprah Winfrey, expected to be a watershed moment in the extended saga surrounding his alleged use of performance enhancing drugs. \nIt was leaked earlier this week that Armstrong would confess to doping to win his record seven Tour de France titles \u2014 a revelation many took as obvious given the mounting evidence against him in recent months. But, ever the brilliant entrepreneur, Oprah kept the anticipation going by saying, \"He did not come clean in the manner that I expected.\"\nSo how can you watch? The two-part interview \u2014 scheduled to air at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on Thursday and Friday \u2014 will be broadcast on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) as well as streamed online. \nIf you want to watch online, the interview will stream during each broadcast time on Oprah.com as well as OWN's Facebook page. \nIf you'd rather watch the old-fashioned way, this handy tool tells you how to find OWN in your area. \nThe Oprah interview will mark the culmination of a years-long did-he-or-didn't-he drama surrounding how Armstrong managed to dominate cycling so completely in the early 2000s. Over the past few months, much of that drama played out online. Here's a quick recap:\n\nIn August, Internet users reacted in shock after Armstrong used a statement posted to his website to announce that he would finally end his long contention of doping charges by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). He admitted no wrongdoing, however, defiantly writing that \"I am finished with this nonsense.\"\nThe following day, he tweeted that donations to his Livestrong Foundation increased 25-fold since he released the statement. Armstrong founded Livestrong in 1997 after a bout with testicular cancer. The foundation aims to help others with cancer, and its positive reflection on Armstrong lent the debate over his steroid use a complicating twist.\nIn October, Armstrong's former Tour de France teammate George Hincapie used a tweet and post to his official website to share a damning revelation. He admitted for the first time that he had taken performance enhancing drugs, and also said he'd named other users for investigators. Shortly after, the USADA released hundreds of pages of testimony from 11 of Armstrong's former riding mates.\nLater the same month, Armstrong made what many interpreted as a decidedly digital and indirect admission of guilt by removing his claim to seven Tour de France titles from his Twitter bio.\nIn November, however, he posted a passive-aggressive photo of himself reclining while surrounded by the yellow jerseys he wore to win his seven Tours with the caption, \"Back in Austin and just layin' around...\" The image went viral with sports fans, quickly picking up more than 300,000 views on the social network Mobli \u2014 which Armstrong is an investor in.\n\nWill you watch Lance Armstrong's interview with Oprah?
