little bit closer, what the police said, you can see him pointing something. that's where all of this seems to happen. it's a very dramatic moment in this video just released from the new york police department right now. you see a little bit of the pandemonium on the street that we've been talking about all day. a tragic event for so many people on a very difficult day here in new york city. a lot of people facing a lot of challenges all over the country right now but hopefully we'll all get into the weekend well enough. thanks for joining us here on "outfront." "anderson cooper 360" starts right now. >> good evening, everyone . we begin tonight with the striking new video just in. it comes from the new york city police department. we should warn you, it shows a man, shooter, in the last second he's alive. you see him being shot by police. we're showing it to you so you can see why police did what they did. surveillance video after the gunman shot a co-worker. there, you see the gunman in the

middle of your screen. it's grainy and it's blurry. you see him walking down the street. briefcase in hand. he takes a gun out of the briefcase. police are in the right-hand corner. this is on fifth avenue. right outside of the empire state building. johnson pulls his weapon. you see the crowd scatter. police open fire killing johnson. this played out in a matter of seconds. the shooter, johnson, is dead. so is the man he shot. nine others were hit. we're going to have complete coverage of the shooting, of this new video, and what it tells us about the incident coming up. we begin tonight with other breaking news. tropical storm isaac. storm watches have gone up in florida. right now, the country of haiti is bearing the brunt of it. and there may be no worse place for bad weather to hit than haiti. more than 400,000 people still living in tents. literally got no safe place to go. temporary shelters. sean penn's organization runs one of the largest tent cities

there. we start in the weather center with chad myers bringing us the freshest new data. >> the latest now is isaac is 90 miles from port-au-prince and moving closer. in fact, moving right toward it. moving right toward other reporters that we have in port-au-prince too. so this is going to be a mess for the people here for the next few hours. probably by 4:00 in the morning, it moves far enough away. the winds taper off. right now, the winds are 65 miles per hour. gary tuchman is right there. he's about to experience that big band of convection that's going to come across the dominican republic and right into port-au-prince and also obviously weather along the south side of the storm too into port-au-prince and haiti and all of the dom minuinican republic . with the white color, that's 10 inches of rain or more. i don't know how you handle 10 inches of rain literally in about four hours. tropical storm watches are up

for florida, the keys, up to parts in the north and southeast coast. bahamas have warnings. the forecast hasn't changed since 5:00. the track is still what it is. some of the models have changed. a couple of runs make more of a run at miami-dade. another one comes all the way out here and makes a run at louisiana. so you know what, we just don't know. it's just too far away to know if this is going to hit miami-dade. the keys or even make a run at tampa still. all of the areas here to here are still inside the cone. it's still too far away. the error, as it gets further and further away, the -- almost all of florida still under the gun. >> it's not a hurricane, as we thought it might be, at this hour. still, that amount of rain, we've seen mudslides in haiti in the past, a lot of problems with flooding, particularly for people in the tent camps. >> it is a very rugged country. we have big mountains between the dominican republic and haiti

and mountains all the way through this little arm that stick, out here. the weather comes up here. it sticks on to these mountains. 8,000 feet high. and the water rushes straight downhill into these towns along the shore. it will also run straight down into port-au-prince. port-au-prince is a port town. and literally hills, mountains, all around that town. all that water that falls will eventually drain right into where those people are living on tents. >> also, a lot of those mountains, the trees have been chops down, so you've got mud, nothing to stop the water. we're continuing to check in with you throughout the hour and the night. meantime, gary tuchman is in haiti, in port-au-prince. a lot of people didn't really know a storm was approaching. what's it like in port-au-prince right now? >> right now, the initial bands are just starting to come in. within the last hour, we're starting to feel the wind and rain coming down. we know firsthand there are tens

of thousands of people who will stay in their flimsy tents and shacks tonight. we're at a camp right outside port-au-prince. there are men, women and small children. none of them have left. they're inside their tents. they're going to ride this out. we're certainly very worried about them because this is muddy ground. behind us is a large hill with about 300 tents on top of it. you were just pointing it out, they chopped the trees down on the hills and the mountains around haiti so there's a very good chance of mudslides with that much rain coming. there's a lot of concern. the fact is, you just can't get the 400,000 people in this country who live in camp sites into the shelters. they have lots of shelters set up and they're full but it's just not practical for all these people to end up in the shelters. there's very little preparation here. no clothes, no umbrellas. there's not much food. children are coming up to us. they're hungry. it's all quite pitiful, to be honest with you. >> are there shelters for people to go to or you said they're all full? >> yeah, no, there are hundreds

of shelters in the country. we know that because we had a conversation today with the president of haiti and the prime minister of haiti and they told us they have hundreds of shelters. they're trying to get as many people as they can into those shelters. they want to get children, women and children into shelters. they want -- this is the president's quote, we want to get strong men to stay in the camps and help protect people left behind. there are a lot of strong men here but there are also a lot of women and children here too. >> we'll continue to check in with you. i want to bring in sean penn who along with other extraordinary people have done great work since the earthquake. his organization manages one of the country's largest camps for displaced people. displaced haitians number in the hundreds of thousands still in that country. you set up jphro in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. you've helped thousands put their lives back together. there's still more than 400,000 people living in temporary shelters or tents. you were there again recently. the kind of damage a storm like this could do, you have seen the

impact of rain, explain the danger. >> well, of course, the first dangers are in flood and mudslide. you know, it's very rare particularly in port-au-prince to get a direct hit from the hurricane. we don't think the winds are going to be quite the issue. though they may be, you know, even a 35-mile-an-hour wind can be devastating in tent camps. the government and the international organizations have been able to reduce the camp levels from about 1.8 million to down i think below 400,000. that still leaves those 400,000 extremely vulnerable. the other issues are, you know, the potential spread of disease. the access to clean water. which is quite -- is actually a bigger issue in the remote regi regions. so the immediate aftermath is going to be a response all

itself. whether or not there is the kind of dramatic hurricane damage that we hope doesn't happen. you'll have roads washed out. and, you know, this is a country, as you do know very well that we've been fighting to get -- there's so many fronts to get things moving forward on. and i think that the capacity of the government is still, you know, needful of an enormous amount of international support, both public and private. and i know that they've been working in the preparedness. but emergency preparation is something that's never been fully reallized in any country that i'm aware of as an integrated aspect of sustainable development or the building of an infrastructure. and in haiti, being a country of only 9 million people, i think with continued support, we can get there and become a model for it. >> we've been to your camp over

the years now several times. explain for folks what the structures are, the 400,000 people in various camps, are living in. what are the structures like? some of them are tents. some of them are temporary structures. >> yeah. most of the structures within the camps would be a combination of 2 x 2s holding up a square tent made from tarps. mostly bottomless. with just the dirt underneath. and drainage is a maintenance program to do that. so what's done within a camp like that is there are days of animations or communications, to the residents, starting with the most vulnerable, and going by the capacity and location of shelters to get to. contact numbers.

the government, for example, puts out sms preparations. it's a country that despite its poverty has an enormous access to cell phones. most people have them. certainly in the cities. but the tents structures themselves are very flimsy. with every heavy rain, we have tent reconstruction to do. sometimes in the hundreds. our camp, which was originally at approximately 60,000, is down to somewhere between 16,000 and 18,000 people. still, a lot of people in there. but there's been, you know, once there have been very aggressive moves in the -- to get people out of camps. it's not a simple process. it's a costly process. we're still looking at donors that made pledges that are incomplete. >> that's one of the things. people have made donations. countries have made donations. have not actually delivered on those donations. you must get this question all the time from folks who say,

look, they see the pictures of -- and here's some 400,000 people still in camps. in your camp, you've been able to reduce those numbers hugely. what is the biggest obstacle to effecting change right now in haiti? i know it's a huge question but in a nutshell. >> i can give you the two biggest obstacles in haiti. one is a land tenure issue. the ability for organizations such as ours or the government's own projects are compromised greatly by the challenges in courts for the ownership of various pieces of land. the return of people who were renters to properties where the landlords now will not give significant enough assurance that those beneficiaries will be the receivers of newly built structures and so on. so land tenure. the other part of it is the part that would come with the creation of those structures as well as, we would hope with an

agriculture sector, which is jobs. two most significant things that need to be focused on, it's those things. with those things, such things as emergency preparedness, to education to health, all of those things would begin to build themselves. the haitians have a lot of their own initiative. but these basic things, the access to jobs, investment in haiti and haiti's own ability to reconstruct and reassign land perhaps is going to be mandatory aspect of any -- of any forward motion. >> sean penn, appreciate you being on. we'll follow this throughout the evening. jprpo, sean's organization, thank you very much. we wish people in your camp and throughout haiti well in the eye of this storm. our storm coverage continues throughout the hour and the night. let us know what you think. we're on facebook. follow me on

welcome back. the shooting outside new york's empire state building. it is graphic. we're just going to show you in limited amount of times. jeffrey johnson's the shooter.

there he is with the gun. then he falls to the ground. he just already killed a former co-worker. he pulled the weapon on the officers follows him. this happened right outside the empire state building. the area was packed with tourists and workers. there's other video as well that's too graphic. we're not going to show you. but here's how all of this played out. this is the aftermath of a gunman ing fire in one of the most crowded streets in america. police say they fired at this man, oiched as 58-year-old jeffrey johnson, after he shot at them. at this point in the video, he still appears to be alive. just minutes before johnson, dressed in a business suit and carrying a briefcase, navigated the crowds around the empire state building, found his target

and pulled out a .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol. >> at 9:00 this morning in front of 10 west 33rd street a disgruntled former employee of a company at that address shot and killed a former co-worker, striking him three times. >> reporter: police say johnson had been laid off as his job as a woman's accessory designer last year. his victim, steve ercolino, was a vice president there. both men had filed prior complaints against one another. a co-worker of ercolino's was walking right next to him when they saw johnson lurking. she said, i thought, oh, my god, he's going to shoot him. i turned and ran. >> johnson fled with a .45 caliber handgun in a black bag he had under his arm. a construction worker who had followed johnson from west 33rd

street alerted two uniformed police officers. >> reporter: chaos erupted. bystanders ran for cover. >> as the two officers approached johnson, he pulled his .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol from his bag and fired on the officers who returned fire. >> reporter: police fired 14 rounds, some of which are believed to have hit eight innocent bystanders. >> we looked towards the left and saw three or four people fall. the whole entire crosswalk emptied and people were running. >> reporter: johnson went down immediately. >> i pulled him over, cuffed him, kicked the gun away. >> reporter: after one man was killed, eight people wounded and hundreds of people ran for their lives, jeffrey johnson died in the shadow of the empire state building. joining us now is a former police officer. is now director of elite group limited. a private security phone. he's on the phone. so is cnn's poppy harlow who's been covering this story all day today. this video, we're seeing for the first time, the reason we're

kind of showing it, is it does kind of show the difficulty police face when you have a shooter on the street with people all around and in the back of the shooter it's a very difficult situation to be in for officers. >> yeah, most definitely. unfortunately, this is the type of scenario where we have what is referred to as an active shooter. and there is no other option but to engage that individual. primarily because he's clearly drawn his weapon already. this .45 semiautomatic caliber pistol. he's discharging it. police have no alternative but to engage him. subsequently what we've experienced is what we've also referred to as collateral damage. that's where innocent people not completely aware of or necessarily involved in this activity are injured. >> in a situation like this, how much information did the officers actually have about what this person has already done? i mean, how much access to

information do they have? >> well, you know, you would hope they have plenty of it. the problem is, the information that they receive, according to what was reported, was there was a construction worker who apparently witnesseded this individual, johnson, shoot his former co-worker. they're working off that. the rest of it is just kind of spontaneous. they begin to approach him. at the same time, you're observing him draw a pistol from his bag clearly with his right hand and begin pointing it and discharging it in the direction of the law enforcement agent. so they unfortunately did not necessarily have all the information they needed. if they had, they probably would have come out of the car guns drawn. they were kind of piecing this together as they were going along. and fortunately, they responded to this quite appropriately. >> i think we've shown that video now so i don't want to keep showing it. it is obviously very graphic and disturbing. popy harlow is joining us on the

phone. do we know any more about the man who was shot? the victim in this? and also the shooter, about what their relationship was, what the beef was about? >> yeah, we know a lot more about the relationship and about the shooter. 58-year-old jeffrey johnson. who up till a year ago, anderson, worked at this hazan imports which makes women's jewelry and apparel. he was apparently laid off a year ago because of downsizing. and was, quote, disgruntled, according to the police. he worked with this victim, and they had this sort of spat, ongoing spat, about workplace harassment. pai co according to the nypd. it frankly led them to both issue legal paperwork against one another. so obviously, you know, there was a lot of tension between the two of them and johnson was there in front of the workplace which just happened to be right next to the empire state building. and then shot the victim in his torso and then in the head.

what we do know from rebecca, the witness i spoke with early this morning, just about half an hour after this happened, she saw the shooter on the ground, laying on the ground, described him to me as a middle aged caucasian man, and she said she saw police tried to turn over the suspected shooter, tried to turn him over. when you see that amateur video also you showed in your piece, you can see he has shot the shooter and on the ground but he's still very much alive, hands moving, leans over before he's then shot again by police. so she did witness him on the ground just a few minutes after this occurred. the way she described the scene to me was there was blood all over the sidewalk, coffee cups left and right and people running frantically because, frankly, this is one of the busiest commercial intersections in new york. 4 million tourists go through every single year.

welcome back. you've seen the video of the empire state building shooter. we're not going to show it to you again. we've shown it several times. it just seems gratuitous to show it more. the gunman and some of the wounded bystanders was taken by a young man who's visiting new york, terrifying scene to witness. he's a tourist who just happened to be there. i spoke to him earlier. so, alex, you saw the aftermath. take us through what happened,

what you saw. >> i'd just come down from the empire state building. just across the street, just sorting out some tour details, and saw a whole load of people running, and they're pointing. there was a guy wearing a high vis jacket pointing out another guy in a suit. he ran towards the empire state building entrance. there's two police on duty there, outside the building. and pretty much just as they'd gone to the entrance, a bus had passed, so the shotses were fired. there was probably -- it was quite rapid fire. i'm guessing around about 8 to 10 shots fired. and i saw people running. and screaming. and a few of them fell down in the streets. and i filmed the aftermath. i was right across the street.

and yeah, just -- pretty horrific scenes. people running away and ducking. there was people lie on the floor. other people trying to help. people were taking cover. then i'd moved around into a more prime location to film. and zoomed in on the footage of police standing over the gunman. and zoomed out, close to the body. had been shot. he was still moving at that point. i think he was the guy who died on the scene. >> the gunman was still moving initially when you saw him on the ground? >> yeah, that's right. there was two police, maybe three by then, running over. so there was two police standing over, over him, guns pointed directly at the guy on the floor, and he was -- he was rolling around but -- yeah, i -- i was -- then i zoomed around to see if anyone else was hurt and i could see other bodies on the floor. like people who had been hit further up the street.

two or three on my camera. as we walked down, the police cleared the scene. there was another couple of people on the left side. so, yeah, that's what i saw. >> and, alex, you're just here as a tourist. how do you feel about all this? i mean, how are you doing? >> ah, yeah, you know, i heard one person say -- this happens globally but we only get shook up when it happens locally. but when you're right in front of something that happens that horrific, it's a bit nerve-racking, yeah. bit shaken. but uninjured. and i really feel for those who have been wounded or families who have been deeply affected by this. >> well, i'm glad you were unscathed. i appreciate you talking to us tonight. alex, thank you so much. >> thank you very much. >> alex who just happened to be there right when it all happened. let's check in with cnn's kyung

lah. >> violence across syria has claimed at least 206 lives today. that word from opponents of the assad regime. fighting between government forces and rebel groups said to be heavy in the capital city m damascus and in the city of aleppo. an american diplomatic vehicle was attacked by mexican federal police outside mexico city today. two u.s. embassy employees were wounded. mexican police officers are being questioned to find out why they opened fire on the american vehicle. and late today, a federal jury in california found samsung guilty of willful violation of some of apple's patents and recommended samsung pay apple more than $1 billion in damages. and the sesame street puppeteer who was the voice of the character count von count, the friendly vampire, has died. his name was jerry nelson.

he was 78 years old. the cast and crew said he was a member of their family for more than 40 years. >> that's really sad years. that's incredible. >> yeah, familiar face to many of us who grew up watching him. >> i know, i've been on "sesame street," it's very sad. kyung, appreciate that. a lot of buzz around mitt romney today. and what he said about his birth certificate, was it a joke? we'll play it for you. you can see side for yourself. new polling as well on the presidential race. notably, abortion, a lot happening in the run to the convention. that's next. tracal maximum plus. it's the only calcium supplement that can be taken with or without food. that's why my doctor recommends citracal maximum. it's all about absorption. you want to make sure it goes up and stays up.

raw politics now. late word today that ann romney will speak on tuesday at the republican national convention in tampa. originally, she was scheduled to speak on monday, on opening night, which broadcast networks decided not to covecover. the big story has to do with her husband. remarks made in michigan sound like a birther joke at president obama's expense. first, as you'll hear, he says

it's not at all that. listen to the remarks and decide for yourself. >> i love being home in this place where ann and i were raised. i was born at harper hospital. no one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. they know that this is the place that we were born and raised. >> now, the obama campaign immediately took umumbrage. saying the decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should give pause. as for governor romney, here's what he told cbs news and scott pellet. >> ann and i were both born in detroit. a little humor always goes a long way. it was great to be home, to the place where we grew up. >> this was a swipe at the president and i wonder why you took it. >> not a swipe. i said there's no question about where he was born. this was fun about us and coming

home and humor, you know, we got to have a little humor in a campaign as well. >> he's saying it's humor, has nothing to do with president obama. ray lot to talk about tonight. i spoke about it earlier with john king and chief political analyst gloria borger who is putting finishing touches on a new documentary which airs sunday at 8:00. john, if romney's comment wasn't deliberate and he says it wasn't about president obama at all, how big a mistake was it? if it was deliberate and about president obama, which it seems pretty obvious it was, does this kind thing help him or hurt him? >> anderson, it doesn't help him. governor romney told cbs news tonight that it was just a joke because he was back home in his birth state of michigan. look, this race is so close right now that every day is pivotal. if you talk to the romney team, they tell you they have one huge imperative. to change people's image of mitt romney. to make people like him more.

meaning his favorability. to make people think he understands and wants to fight for the middle class. now, making a birther joke or whatever you want to call it might help with those strong anti-obama fervent conservatives but it doesn't help romney with where he needs to move now most, the middle, the undecideds. >> i only saw the video briefly. it seemed like more kind of cheering in the crowd, which does seem to make it seem like it was hitting on a birther note. you spent a lot of time with romney recently. what do you make of this? >> what i learned about mitt romney and you probably know this is he's a cautious politician. the problem is that the more cautious he seems to get, the more mistakes he makes. because he's not loose on the stump. he's very stiff. and he's always self-editing in an odd way. so when he doesn't and he kind of makes an off-hand comment, very often it's just not good,

not funny, not appropriate. and i think this is the problem he's had. so the more he does something like this, makes a mistake, like the $10,000 bet to rick perry during the debates, the more he self-edit, then he's cautious, then he makes another mistake. >> the obama campaign has put out a statement saying mitt romney's linking himself to the most extremist elements. a notion that's been discounted. even though publicly he says he doesn't believe in the whole birther thing. it's our first poll of likely voters. what do the numbers show you? >> the numbers tell us, number one, anderson, there's a bit of an energy gap, intensity gap. president obama still has a healthy lead among all registered voters. if you look at just likely voters, the most likely voters, look at this here, choice for president among likely voters. president obama, 49%. governor romney, 47%. a statistical dead heat.

does that matter much? a little bit of history here. the obama/mccain race was a dead heat heading into the conventions, we know in the end it wasn't close. george h.w. bush was losing to michael dukakis heading into the conventions and bush went on to win and win big. it does tell you the intensity among likely voters. a couple of things. in the poll, independent voters, those who define themselves, as independents, they will matter hugely. if you look, the moment, a sta kift call dead heat among independents. romney with the slight edge. so you see here, that's a slight advantage at the moment for romney as opposed to '08. one more quick one. suburban voters are critical in states like pennsylvania, ohio, many other states as well. if you look at the current numbers, dead heat. governor romney has to boost

that number up a little bit. this is essentially where we were four years ago. if these numbers stay this close. you'd have to say that's an advantage for president obama. >> really interesting, the difference between registered voters and likely voters. we had new poll numbers on abortion today that suggested a significant shift particularly among the young in favor of some abortion rights. it's been obviously a tough couple of days for mitt romney on an issue he wasn't planning on spend much time on this year for the documentary that's airing sunday. you asked him about his change of mind on this issue. what did he say? >> well, his answer was when -- that he's always been personally opposed to abortion. and when he was the governor, he says he was confronted with the piece of legislation on stem cell research that in his view would have destroyed embryos and, therefore, he couldn't sign it. now, that's a rationale that you may choose to believe or not believe. clearly, lots democrats are willing to say we have them in our documentary, saying they

believe it was politically motivated. that he knew they could never run for the presidency in the republican party. being any kind of pro-choice candidate. so he switched. he also made the point to me, why don't you complain about president obama who was against gay marriage and now he's for gay marriage. so we're all allowed to have our shifts of position on social issues. but i might say, anderson, this is what's caused the skepticism. not only among democrats and those women who are pro-choice but also among republicans, and we saw this throughout the primary process, because they're not quite sure about mitt romney. not only on the issue of abortion but also on the issue of health care reform which he also passed when he was governor of massachusetts. >> interesting stuff. look forward to the documentary on sunday. gloria's documentary, sunday, "romney revealed." sunday, 8:00 p.m. eastern time. right after the special

our other breaking news tonight. tropical storm isaac bearing down on haiti. what's the situation in port-au-prince? >> right now, we're between vans, which gives us a good opportunity to illustrate the situation here in haiti with the camps. roughly 400,000 people still live in the tent cities. this gives you an idea. this particular tent city we're at, there are about 8,000 people who live here. this is startling. they've been trying, the government, to get people into shelters. but i want to ask this gentleman

who speaks a little english how many people in this camp have gone into shelters. >> nobody goes to the shelters because nobody in the government had already come around and asked us to move away or promised us that they were going to do something for us. >> so nobody's come here. what's the number of people who have left do you think? >> like this morning we got some people that went to shelters and then they went back because they didn't really appreciate where they -- >> you said before zero people have left, right? >> okay, so when i said zero, i thought you mean how many people already have shelter to live in. i misunderstood. >> everyone's pretty much still here, correct? >> yes, correct. >> that's the point i'm trying to make. i'm sorry to rush you. >> i'm sorry i misunderstood your question actually. >> that's the point we're trying

to make, virtually everyone is staying here tonight no matter what happens with this tropical storm coming in this direction. it's very disturbing because of what has happened in previous years. thousands of people have been killed in tropical storms and hurricanes. this is the first tropical storm to come since the earthquake. >> it's the large amount of rain in the short amount of time that could be a danger. we'll continue to follow that closely. let's check back in with cnn's kyung lah.

tonight, two of lance armstrong's biggest sponsors are sticking by him. the u.s. anti-doping agency said

today it is stripping armstrong of his tour de france titles. subject to its doping rules. all this came just hours after armstrong announced he's giving up his battle to clear his name. the question is why has he give be up the fight? bill strickland, editor at large at bicycle magazine. author of "lang armstrong." has toured with him since 1992 when he started covering him. what do you make of lance armstrong's decision? >> think it was his best option. he -- i think he knew that -- whether he agrees with it or not, i think he knew the evidence and the testimony he would face in the arbitration process was just overwhelming. >> testimony from people who had been on his team who had doped along with him? >> team members, presumably other people connected to the

team. there's a lot of speculation about who it was. through my own reporting, it's been reported elsewhere, there were definitely teammates -- >> and you think that testimony would have been pretty devastating? >> it would have been. there's -- you know, some of the names are no surprise. floyd landis, taylor hamilton. they've had some troubles with their integrity because they've lied about their doping initially. some of those people who gave testimony had either thus far never been implicated in doping and were also trusted members of his team. they weren't -- they were never sort of thrown off his team. >> you -- you've spent a lot of time with lance armstrong going back i think to '92 is when you first started to really kind of hang out with him, and you've been i mean kind of in different spots on the spectrum of believing he was doping, believing he was innocent. you came to believe, though, that he was doping. >> right. you know, through -- along --

through the long time i knew him, like i think everyone who looked at some of the innuendo and rumors which now turn out to be evidence. i went back and forth for a long time. last year, i had an interaction with someone from that era, you know, a character who played a role in this -- >> you can't say who? >> it was off the record. i can't say who. it convinced me personally without a doubt. i always felt he deserved at least a doubt. just cause he was such a figure of hope for so many people and such a great athlete. even when i -- seemed to be certain that he doped, i always wanted to extend that doubt to him. >> you have no doubt that he did dope? >> no doubt. >> he said, look, i passed 500 tests. i think the numbers vary. i've heard him say that. how do you account for that? >> that's an impressive number. he had a lot of tests.

and he got through those tests. you know, what we've learned is that as anti-doping caught up, the cyclists got smarter and they learned how to avoid the tests using smaller doses of epo, which is the blood boosting drug. >> so they would use a smaller amount more regularly than just one large amount at a time? >> right. they learned how to cycle it. they would also use their own blood in conjunction with epo. there were all sorts of ways to kind of sneak through the markers that the tests set up. >> i guess what i can't wrap my mind around is if he is innocent, why would he then take this step? it does seem to indicate a level of guilt. is the system unfair? he says the trial would be completely unfair. >> right. the system certainly could be seen as unfair. you know, you saw it as -- win

rate, incredibly high. it's not the same as our criminal and our civil courts. it's a little different. it's a little harder for the athletes to win. if you believe lance, it's certainly easy to see the system is unfair. >> what happens now? does he return to jersehe jerse? is there a blank space by the record books? because some of the other people that came in second in some of these races also doped. >> right. it gets really interesting from here. it's going to be naughty. everyone who finished second him behind has either been -- >> everyone? >> everyone. all of the seven podiums. >> what do you think happens now? does his charity get affected? does it change anything for him? >> you know, it's fascinating. is he
