An individual who didn’t want to be indentified has revealed that Lance Armstrong is going to admit to taking banned products during an interview with the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Is this a right decision of the prominent cyclist? Opinions differ. Some persons believe that if the former cyclist admits to doping, his reputation will be restored. Others think that the admission will not be able to change anything. Some other individuals claim that if Lance Armstrong does it, he will be probably sentenced to prison.
As you know, Lance Armstrong denied using steroids and other banned drugs. He seemed to succeed till the USADA published a dossier on him. The USADA’s report presented doping evidence. As a result, the cyclist lost his 7 Tour de France titles. Moreover, his sponsors dropped him. In addition to these negative conditions, Lance Armstrong had to distance himself from the cancer-fighting foundation Livestrong in order to prevent hurting it.
Will Lance Armstrong admit to using banned substances? Which will be consequences?
Several experts believe that prosecution will begin, if Lance Armstrong admits to doping. The cyclist has claimed under the oath that he never used any forbidden drugs. So, if he admits to doping, it means that he admits to lying under the oath. As a result, he may go to jail. That’s why several experts claim that Lance Armstrong should continue denying doping.
But there are individuals who believe that the admission will alter nothing. Millions of individuals with cancer that have survived with the help of Livestrong praise Lance Armstrong. The 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 applying forbidden preparations throughout his athletic career, these persons will continue to support him.
But there is also another opinion. If Lance Armstrong presents important information about usage of banned substances in the US Postal Service Cycling Team, his suspension from competitions may be reduced. Thus, the disgraced cyclist will probably return to competitions.
It is unclear whether Lance Armstrong will really admit and which results will follow.
