Lance Armstrong will probably return to competitions

A person who didn’t want to be indentified has announced that Lance Armstrong intends to admit to using prohibited medicines during an interview with the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Is this a right decision of the prominent cyclist? Opinions differ. Several individuals suppose that if the former cyclist admits to doping, his reputation will be restored. Others think that the admission will change nothing. Some other individuals think that if Lance Armstrong does it, he will be probably sentenced to prison.
It is known that Lance Armstrong denied using steroids and other prohibited products. He seemed to succeed till the USADA published a report on him. The USADA’s report provided 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 results, Lance Armstrong had to distance himself from the cancer-fighting foundation Livestrong in order to prevent hurting it.
Will Lance Armstrong admit to using prohibited medicines? Which will be results?
Certain experts think that prosecution will begin, if Lance Armstrong admits to doping. The cyclist has pronounced under the oath that he never administered any forbidden medications. So, 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 say that Lance Armstrong should continue denying doping.
But there are persons who affirm that the admission will change 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 him, regardless of whether he has doped or not. If even Lance Armstrong admits to applying banned medicines throughout his cycling career, these persons will continue to support him.
But there is also another point of view. If Lance Armstrong provides important information about administration of prohibited 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.
