Armstrong Weighs Admitting to Doping 1/5/13
Associted Press
January 5, 2013
AUSTIN - The New York Times is reporting Friday that Lance
Armstrong - who has strongly denied the doping charges that led to him being
stripped of his seven Tour de France titles - has told associates he is
considering admitting he used performance-enhancing drugs.
The report is based on anonymous sources and says Armstrong is considering a
confession to help restore his athletic career in triathlons and running events
at age 41. Armstrong was been banned for life from cycling and cannot compete in
athletic events sanctioned by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and the World
Anti-Doping Agency.
Yet Armstrong attorney Tim Herman denies that the cyclist has reached out to
USADA chief executive Travis Tygart and David Howman, director general of the
World Anti-Doping Agency.
Herman tells The Associated Press he has no knowledge of Armstrong
considering a confession and said, "When, and if, Lance has something to say,
there won't be any secret about it."
