Lance Armstrong’s decision to admit to doping

A person that didn’t desire to be indentified has announced that Lance Armstrong plans to admit to using prohibited drugs during an interview with Oprah Winfrey. Is this a right decision of the famous cyclist? Opinions differ. Some individuals suppose that if the American cyclist admits to doping, his reputation will be restored. Others think that the admission will not produce any changes. Several other individuals suppose that if Lance Armstrong does it, he will be probably sentenced to imprisonment.
As you know, Lance Armstrong denied using steroids and other prohibited preparations. He seemed to succeed till the USADA published a dossier on him. The USADA’s dossier presented doping evidence. As a result, the cyclist forfeited his 7 Tour de France titles. Moreover, his sponsors cut their ties with him. In addition to these negative conditions, Lance Armstrong had to distance himself from the foundation Livestrong in order to prevent negative influence of his problems on it.
Will Lance Armstrong admit to using forbidden substances? Which will be results?
Several experts claim that prosecution will begin, if Lance Armstrong admits to doping. The cyclist has affirmed under the oath that he never took any banned drugs. Thus, if he admits to doping, it means that he admits to lying under the oath. As a result, he may be sentenced to imprisonment. That’s why some experts affirm that Lance Armstrong should continue denying doping.
But there are persons who think that the admission will alter nothing. Millions of individuals with cancer that have survived because of Livestrong praise Lance Armstrong. The cyclist is a hero for them. These individuals like him, regardless of whether he has doped or not. If even Lance Armstrong admits to taking prohibited medications throughout his cycling career, these individuals will continue to support him.
But there is also another opinion. If Lance Armstrong presents important information about application of banned preparations in the US Postal Service Cycling Team, his ban from competitions may be reduced. So, the disgraced cyclist will probably compete again.
It is unclear whether Lance Armstrong will really admit and which results will follow.
