I hope he does, this has dragged on for far too long in the face of overwhelming evidence.
The spectre of doping has hung for far too long over cycling, Team Sky have set the precedent with their no drugs policy, Armstrong 'fessing up will go a long way to removing the stain.

It may also mean he avoids a spell in chokey of course!

[Frank97]

Not sure what to think about this, he could just make the whole thing worse, as I would think he wouldn't just confess to his own but would be naming others as well.
I just wish he'd been caught years ago!

so he can compete in triathlons? would anyone want to compete against him?

[Nibble]

IMO, a Full apology will never happen from this person.

[emmie]

he would be better off staying quiet, retiring to somewhere no one has heard of him and let those who stay clean in the sport win races.

[ChillDoubt]

He can't really stay quiet em10, there are a lot of people and companies who now want his ill-gotten games returned. Not to mention the damning USADA report into his activity.
He'd be best to confess, return all that is asked and possibly avoid jail time for himself.
He's still going to be comfortable for the rest of his life and if contrite and remorseful enough will still make plenty from the inevitable book deal that will doubtless follow.

the Sunday Times called him a doper; he sued and won. Now they want the damages back, and quite right.

[ChillDoubt]

Ill-gotten games? Should read gains, dunno how that crept in there.

[weecalf]

He did what I could not ,thats cycle at speed up and down hill .He had talent and was a great cyclist . I admire those people who do that grulling sport and some slip of the pedistal it does not take away from the other brilliant sports people in that sport . How it ended for him was none of my business I do not condemn anyone.

[ChillDoubt]

I do condemn him weecalf. He ruined the careers and prospects of quite a few young riders and brow-beat others in the peloton who opposed him over doping.
Yes, a lot of other riders doped. Armstrong was the only one who hired riders and team personnel but fired those who didn't fit in to his mindset and the doping culture he pervaded throughout US Postal.
