Former Tour cyclist Matt DeCanio thinks Lance Armstrong will use his interview with Oprah Winfrey to "manipulate people's opinions".

Armstrong, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles by the sport's governing body, following a report by the US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada), will appear on Winfrey's OWN network on Thursday, 17 January.

DeCanio says Armstrong "will cry" in the 90-minute interview in a "last-ditch" effort to gather public support.
