A person who didn’t desire to be indentified has disclosed that Lance Armstrong is going to admit to taking prohibited substances during an interview with the American media proprietor Oprah Winfrey. Is this a right decision of the disgraced cyclist? Points of view differ. Certain individuals claim that if the American cyclist admits to doping, his reputation will be restored. Others affirm that the admission will alter nothing. Certain other persons believe that if Lance Armstrong does it, he will probably go to jail.
As you know, Lance Armstrong denied taking steroids and other forbidden drugs. He seemed to succeed till the USADA published a dossier on him. The USADA’s dossier provided doping evidence. As a result, the cyclist forfeited his 7 Tour de France titles. Moreover, his sponsors left 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 using forbidden products? Which will be consequences?
Some experts think that prosecution will take place, if Lance Armstrong admits to doping. The cyclist has pronounced under the oath that he never administered any forbidden products. So, if he admits to doping, it means that he admits to lying under the oath. As a result, he may be sentenced to prison. That’s why some experts claim that Lance Armstrong should continue denying doping.
But there are individuals who affirm that the admission will alter nothing. Millions of persons with cancer that have survived because 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 applying prohibited medicines throughout his cycling career, these persons will continue to support him.
But there is also another point of view. If Lance Armstrong presents important information about intake of performance-enhancing drugs in the US Postal Service Cycling Team, his ban from competitions may be reduced. Thus, the disgraced cyclist will probably compete again.
It is unclear whether Lance Armstrong will really admit and which results will follow.
