Sheryl Crow And Lance Armstrong: Country Star Interview On 'ET' About Doping Scandal, 'Truth Will Set You Free', Gets Ex's Revenge [VIDEO]

Sheryl Crow is speaking out about Lance Armstrong's doping scandal and isn't holding back. In an interview with "Entertainment Tonight" Crow appreciates that the former cyclist came out about his drug usage.

In the interview with "ET," that will air Tuesday, Crow said, "I think that honesty is always the best bet and that the truth will set you free." The country star first started dating Armstrong in 2003 and were later engaged, but split in 2005. The singer added, "To carry around a weight like that would be devastating in the long run."

After the release of Armstrong's interview with Oprah Winfrey, the former girlfriend said that she caught "bits and pieces," but people who've seen more are saying that the interview can land him in more hot water. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report called Armstrong the drug kingpin of the "most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen," and was banned from ever competing and stripped of all his awards for cycling.

Accordingt to Celebuzz, Crow was name in the affidavits that was handed to the agency last year. The Country star was around when his teammate, Frankie Andreu and his wife, Betsy, were asked to deny that the champion cyclist admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs to doctors in 1996, "His girlfriend at the time, Sheryl Crow, was in the room and I felt uncomfortable talking about this in front of her so I did not say much," Frankie Andreu said in the signed affidavit.

Last year, in an interview with Katie Couric she sympathized with her former boyfriend, "I felt bad for [Armstrong], I felt bad for his family and I kinda felt like the rest of America."
