There has been a significant storm of interest gathering over the last 24 hours around the appearance of Lance Armstrong at the One Zero Conference in Dublin on October 21st.
He is but one of a global cast of influential players in the world of sport, and the business that surrounds it, that will be present on the day.
He is though perhaps the one name that has captured the imagination.
Overnight Lance Armstrong tweeted to Paul Kimmage with a ‘here’s thought’ message.
Hey @PaulKimmage, here’s a thought. How about you and I do the interview @OneZeroCon?

It would be strange as one of those involved in the event were we not to cover this development for you this morning.
We will announce a decision on how this plays out as soon as possible.
Our intention was always to bring a world class event to Dublin and to debate the areas of sport that are so vital to its future.
That is happening regardless with leaders from Twitter, Eurosport, BT Sport, the US Olympic Committee, Jamie Fuller and many others being part of the debate on investment, innovation, technology, media and more.
Sir Clive Woodward on leadership and the Lions and Shane Lowry on the multi million world of elite golf are the kind of people that those with an overall interest in sport want to hear from.
Lance Armstrong, in full and open conversation, would be truly unmissable and if the opposite chair had Paul Kimmage in it…
