Armstrong tweeted this pic of himself over the weekend.
The IOC lashed out at Lance Armstrong one day after his confession to doping aired on TV as Oprah Winfrey released new details from her sit-down with the former cycling star.
Armstrong's doping confession to Winfrey was "too little, too late" and failed to provide any new information that will help clean up the sport he tarnished through years of cheating, the vice president of the IOC said Friday.
Armstrong finally admitted to cheating his way to the top of the cycling world during a bombshell interview with the last night.

THE LYIN’ KING: Lance Armstrong keeps a stiff upper lip during his interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired last night.
The stone-faced liar answered “yes” four times when Winfrey asked whether he took the drugs he was accused of using.
A day after stripping Armstrong of his bronze medal from the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the IOC urged the disgraced former Tour de France champion to supply details to anti-doping authorities in order to "bring an end to this dark episode."
In an interview with The Associated Press, IOC vice president Thomas Bach said Armstrong's admission to Winfrey that he used performance-enhancing drugs — after years of vehement denials —was not enough.
"If he thinks this interview would help him get credibility back, I think this is too little, too late," said Bach, a German lawyer who leads the IOC's anti-doping investigations. "It's a first step in the right direction, but no more.
"If he really loves his sport and wants to regain at least some credibility, then he should tell the whole truth and cooperate with the relevant sports bodies."
Winfrey tonight will target Armstrong's family's reaction to his doping admission — including how his mother and son were handling the news — as well was the "arrogant" tweet of Armstrong with his jerseys.
"Was it just you being your cocky, arrogant jerk self that did the tweet with you lying with all the jerseys?" Winfrey asks the former cycling star.
The second part of interview will air tonight at 9 on OWN.
Meanwhile, Armstrong's former teammate, Tyler Hamilton, calls the cyclist's confession a "big first step" but says Armstrong must follow it up by telling authorities everything he knows about the doping programs he used to win his Tour de France titles.
Hamilton's testimony was key to the case against Armstrong. He described the doping program on Armstrong's team and the power Armstrong wielded in pressuring teammates to go along with the doping.
