Karl Baxter was hoping to sell 10,000 copies of 'The Science Of Lance Armstrong'. But now he wants your ideas to help him get rid of them.
Lance Armstrong cannot expect to be redeemed after his brief TV confession. Names must be named.
– Lance ArmstrongFrankly - this may not be the most popular answer - but I think I deserve it [to be able to compete again], maybe not right now. But if you look at the situation, you look at the culture, and the sport, and you see the punishments. Okay you are trading my story for a sixth month suspension? That's what everybody got. So I got a death penalty (can never compete again). I am not saying that is unfair necessarily, but I am saying it is different.
When asked about whether he was doing the interview with Oprah so that he would be able to race again, Lance Armstrong replied 'hell yes'.
– Lance ArmstrongDo I want to compete again. The answer is 'hell yes. I am a competitor. It's what I have done my whole life. I love to train, I love to race, I love to tow the line. I don't expect it to happen. Not the Tour de France, but there are a lot of other things that I could do, but I can't. With this penalty, with this punishment - and I made my bed - but if there was ever window, would I like to run the Chicago marathon when I am 50? I would love to do that, and I can't.
Lance Armstrong has said that severing all ties with his Livestrong Foundation was his most humbling moment.
– Lance ArmstrongThat was the most humbling moment. To get that call - two parts. One: step as chairman, but stay on the board - stay involved. [But] that wasn't enough for the people, for our supporters. Then a couple of weeks later the next call came - 'we need you to step aside'. It was the best thing for the organisation, but it hurt like hell. That was the lowest.
In the second interview with Oprah, Lance Armstrong admitted he felt disgraced and humbled.
He said: "But I also feel humbled. I feel ashamed. This is ugly stuff.
"Nike called, and they said that they are out. Then the calls started coming.
"Everybody was out. Still not the most humbling time, but not a fun period."
The second part of the Oprah Winfrey interview is set to air at 2am GMT, with further revelations expected on how his family have coped while the cyclist was challenged over doping allegations. Last night he admitted he had taken banned substances during all seven of his Tour de France wins.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has urged Lance Armstrong to make a "full confession under oath" following his doping admission to Oprah Winfrey.
The WADA said it was "interested" to listen to his confession, but reiterated that it has made "no difference" to his status as a life-time banned athlete under the World Anti-Doping Code.
– A statement from the World Anti-Doping AgencyIf Mr. Armstrong truly wants to make amends for his doping past, then he needs to make a full confession under oath to the relevant anti-doping authorities.
He must make a sworn statement that reveals the full truth and contains information that will assist the fight against doping in sport.
Tyler Hamilton, a former team-mate of Lance Armstrong who implicated him in the doping scandal, has told ITV News we're likely to see a "new Lance Armstrong" now he has confessed.
Speaking about his own experience, Hamilton said in his only UK interview, "I was a broken man two-and-a-half, three years ago, and I finally did the right thing ... telling the truth felt great. It sets you free".
