The Livestrong Foundation finally broke its silence yesterday regarding what everyone expects to be LANCE ARMSTRONG'S big confession in the interview with OPRAH that airs Thursday and Friday nights.

The cancer charity says, "We expect Lance to be completely truthful and forthcoming in his interview and with all of us in the cancer community.  We expect we will have more to say at that time.  Regardless, we are charting a strong, independent course forward that is focused on helping people overcome financial, emotional and physical challenges related to cancer.  Inspired by the people with cancer whom we serve, we feel confident and optimistic about the Foundation's future and welcome an end to speculation."
