Lance Armstrong will probably return to competitions

An individual who didn’t want to be indentified has announced that Lance Armstrong intends to admit to using forbidden products during an interview with the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Is this a right decision of the celebrated cyclist? Points of view differ. Some individuals claim that if the disgraced American cyclist admits to doping, his reputation will be restored. Others affirm that the admission will alter nothing. Several other persons claim that if Lance Armstrong does it, he will probably go to jail.
It is known that Lance Armstrong denied administering steroids and other prohibited products. He seemed to succeed till the USADA released a report on him. The USADA’s report 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 aspects, Lance Armstrong had to distance himself from the foundation Livestrong in order to prevent hurting it.
Will Lance Armstrong admit to applying prohibited substances? Which will be results?
Several experts believe that prosecution will begin, if Lance Armstrong admits to doping. The cyclist has pronounced under the oath that he never used any prohibited medicines. So, 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 imprisonment. That’s why some experts say that Lance Armstrong should continue denying doping.
But there are individuals who think that the admission will change nothing. Millions of individuals with cancer that have survived because of Livestrong praise Lance Armstrong. The former cyclist is a hero for them. These individuals like him, regardless of whether he has doped or not. If even Lance Armstrong admits to using prohibited medicines throughout his cycling career, these individuals will continue to support him.
But there is also another point of view. If Lance Armstrong presents important information about administration of steroids and/or doping products 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.
