Lance Armstrong confesses to using performance-enhancing drugs

An individual that didn’t desire to be indentified has reported that Lance Armstrong intends to admit to administering banned medications during an interview with the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Is this a right decision of the prominent cyclist? Points of view differ. Several individuals suppose that if the disgraced American cyclist admits to doping, he will restore his reputation. Others think that the admission will change nothing. Several other individuals believe that if Lance Armstrong does it, he will be probably sentenced to jail.
It is known that Lance Armstrong denied administering steroids and other prohibited products. He seemed to succeed till the USADA published a dossier on him. The USADA’s dossier presented doping evidence. As a result, the cyclist was stripped of his 7 Tour de France titles. Furthermore, his sponsors cut their ties with him. In addition to these negative conditions, Lance Armstrong had to distance himself from the cancer-fighting foundation Livestrong in order to prevent negative influence of his problems on it.
Will Lance Armstrong admit to administering forbidden medications? Which will be results?
Several experts suppose that prosecution will begin, if Lance Armstrong admits to doping. The cyclist has affirmed under the oath that he never took any forbidden products. Thus, if he admits to doping, it means that he acknowledges that he has lied under the oath. As a result, he may be sentenced to prison. That’s why some experts say that Lance Armstrong should continue denying doping.
But there are persons who claim that the admission will change nothing. Millions of persons with cancer that have survived with the help of Livestrong praise Lance Armstrong. The former cyclist is a hero for them. These persons like the former cyclist, regardless of whether he has doped or not. If even Lance Armstrong admits to taking banned medicines throughout his cycling career, these persons will continue to support him.
But there is also another opinion. If Lance Armstrong provides important information about administration of steroids and/or doping products in the US Postal Service Cycling Team, his suspension from competitions may be reduced. So, the disgraced cyclist will probably return to competitions.
It is unclear whether Lance Armstrong will really admit and which results will follow.
