Many sponsors have left it, he doesn't have much else to cling on to, imo its deffo stubbornness and pride.

He vilified every single person who went after him with court settlements, bribes, threats etc.
just the pitts.

i wonder what he will say, can't wait!

he wont say anything though, oprah will ask such rubbish questions like "is it hard cycling? i once did a 20 miler for charity that was really hard mmmm yes, want a hug?"

Its just a chance for both to make loads of money. Why can't they get a good, hard hitting interviewer eh?

Well...A lot of athletes who have finally admitted to doping have been pretty helpful in chasing other dopers. Maybe LA will all surprise us and start to question doping in other sports....such as tennis.

Not sure...if all the fake glory one built over the years collapses, then might come a sense to do everything right from scratch. Landis did not lose any lawsuit (wasn't even taken to court if I m correct) cause dopers know that the trial and the possible evidence would do even more damage.

hes been banned for life. He's a sociopathic liar, a megalomaniac and a complete tool but he isn't stupid. He will know exactly what to say, how to spin it to his advantage and make sure he gets more out of it than it gets out of him!

I would love to be proven wrong but I think DeCanio got it right:

He is basically going to do and say anything that will mean that you can still buy a candy bar with his face on it or a bicycle that he endorses.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/20964728

So, if he thinks that confession is what does him most good, he will confess, if he thinks the denial will work better, he will go on denying...

SB,

Now that you've had this lovely long off season break from tennis forums, how about you do one nice Points Spy here?
Nadal is foing to drop 1200 points ( and that's just from AO)
so it would be good to know how things could look like Whistle
It doesn't have to be anything fancy!

And there’s a wrinkle: Armstrong, should he confess, would have committed perjury during the SCA arbitration when he denied having doped in a deposition he gave in Austin’s federal court on Nov. 30, 2005. The problem for SCA — and federal investigators? The courts aren’t likely to see it that way. Any sort of attack on Armstrong for perjury would likely be blocked by the statue of limitations.

“Under Texas law, it seems that the statute of limitations for perjury is two or three years. He’s likely off the hook on the perjury prosecution,” Stichel said.

maybe he will confess then. http://velonews.competitor.com/2013/01/analysis/analysis-the-legal-twilight-of-an-armstrong-confession_270929

Sorry if this may sound a bit Armstrong might lose all his titles! - Page 5 2786941968, but who needs Armstrong to confess anything?
I mean, hasn't he already been proven a mega doper?

What exactly is going to change if he does confess? What new thing can he add around his neck which already isn't hanging there?

not at all its a good question.

Well if he confesses he is open to more lawsuits who have been wronged and cheated by him i.e. sunday times and another company for up to $15m.

The whole cycling community needs it!
If he tells all and properly tells all he could change everything in the sport.
All the dealings with the UCI, the omerta, how to beat the doping system, those involved in beating it, the current practices, the federations involved and so many jobs and livelihoods are at stake, it could be HUGE!!!

On a side note he wants to go back into competing again, but even with a reduced ban it will still be another 8 years so he will be 50!

Do you think he should be given a new chance if he comes 100% clean?
Also, how good would he be if he competed 100% clean (provided all the others were totally clean, as well), and how would we know he/' they were clean, if they are all officially "clean" at the moment, yet we know/suspect they are not.

nope, this year at the tour de france's 100 edition all the past riders who are living are being invited to watch the final stage at the champs elysee. I don't want lance anywhere near that place and i don't think they will let him!

The lengths he went to are just shocking. I read the 200 page report, couldn't find the 1000 page one and it is just mind boggling, left me speechless and he should be treated with as much vitriol and contempt as humanly possible.

Well they say armstrong started taking drugs as far back as 95 (hes results improved markedly until he got cancer (some say it was because of the drugs that led to it).

There is no way in saying bud, lance was a very good athlete no doubt but he was tailored for the classics and monuments (1 day events) he couldn't climb, TT was ok and he couldn't sprint. He won the world championships at 21 so he was very capable. He proved on his own patch he was the best (not saying much) but he didn't finish the tdf most of the time! Everyone was on drugs then which led him to cheating so I really don't know, he did recently get beat by a 16 year old in a bike race :P/

I feel cycling is improving but it isn't as clean as everyone says and it alarms me that many current cyclists say that was then this is now!
And many more still support him, funnily enough quite a few ex dopers and indurain (for me deffo on the hot sauce).

Dr michael ashenden is convinced the omerta is under a new sophisticated guise but it can be stopped with financial repercussions, an amnesty approach and trust that they wont be ostracized for their honesty (that involves the UCI which is not good news!).

That is the problem, anti doping own its own isn't going to get it done. You need more funding, increased governing body help, make it a part of the national govt's obligations, police help, independent doping commissions and agencies and that is such a long way off.
Its slow progress, oh so slow.

Thanks LS.
For some funny reason, I think that cycling should be the easiest sport to clean despite the fact that cyclist, of all athletes, benefit most from doping.
If they really wanted to do it, they could, couldn't they?

wow haha thats a tough question and one im not sure i can answer Sad.

There is so much hyperbole and conjecture in this as we the spectator don't have a clue. The riders know whats going on, the staff do but we don't.

I guess they just need more funding and a lot of it. I get your point but maybe as cycling is such a physically gruelling sport (where you are more likely to take drugs) those trying to beat the system are more advanced than those in other sports.

Honestly don't know soz.

I think there is a way to stop doping. Allocate 10 people following everyday one of the 10 top cyclers each (woudl work for any sport). With blood once a day and urine 2 or 3 times a day. If the athlete can stay at teh top for 3 months of this harsh testing then we could lax the rule for him. What will be interesting is see how those top fare during the period versus those who are not being tested so drastically. Since the money is really for the top players it justifies the costs. They have Physios, doctors, etc...following them everyday so it woudl not be such inconvenient...bar the fact they would become human again.

is this feasible across the whole tour? every single race or day? the funding would have to sky rocket for that to happen.
Out of competition testing needs to be stepped up deffo and it has to be stricter and more stringent.
An independent anti doping org needs to be set up that has sufficient funds, resources and competent enough people to do both blood and urine testing (think wada or the ioc only do urine!).

Perhaps an incremental improvement but im not sure such a radical change is realistic Sad

Actually no. £50k salary a year plus 50k Expenses = £100k * 10 athletes = £1M. Another £1M would be spent for random testing for the lower ranked players. Some players travel with their stingers....so surely they could afford a tester too.

Do we know what is the anti-doping budget for the ITF/ATP/WTA?

well some sports have more money than others right?
i heard that $1.3m was spent on anti doping in tennis this year (again less than their actual budget).

I still think its quite a big effort and most will say its too expensive even if it isn't.

Well that's why I think they are not serious about doping....In fact we know they want(ed?) to facilitate doping ...not making it tougher.

I think the ultimate cheats here are teh sponsors. They choose who they want to win and make sure that persons turns into an idol. They don;t only design athletes' outfits, they design champions too.

Nike (which means victory in Greek) is probably the worst offender!...and let's not forget they ruled the ATP during Nadal's best years.

Nike (which means victory in Greek) is probably the worst offender!...and let's not forget they ruled the ATP during Nadal's best years.

I wonder what UNIQLO means Armstrong might lose all his titles! - Page 5 1071211947

However he says that:

Asked if doping was part of the process required to win the Tour, he said: "That's like saying we have to have air in our tyres or water in our bottles. It was part of the job.

...and tennis is no different....unless, maybe, and only maybe, you have as much technique and talent as Federer, or you accept to be ranked in the low 20 like Llodra.

What would be more efficient in solving the doping problem: ridiculous zero tolerance controlling or turning the tour into what it looked like in its early days: wooden racquets and fast grass everywhere.
Or stg else...

Welcome to the real world LS, where people lie, stab you in the back, just so they can have a few more pennies in their pocket.
You can thank the power of modern media for keeping you believe the dream this long!
Everyone has a choice to wake up or not.
I admit it's hard to do it, esp when it's something you love so much, it's actually heart-breaking.
It's only natural you hate those who keep lying and denying and ruining/destroying something you love.

Some say tennis is rotten to the bone, I'm struggling to accept it at the moment as I don't know how I can cope with it to be honest.
If I knew players were doping, my conscience would not allow me to watch a single match any more. So I am waiting and hoping that something changes soon, and this Fuentes case could be the beginning. A very faint hope, but better than no hope.

it was just the promise that he would TELL ALL, the chance to restructure cycling, get rid of the UCI, start a new, a new dawn for clean cycling.

This interview for me is just the biggest let down.
I was never an armstrong fan 2bh I mean I only got into cycling in 08 but when he returned in 09 I didn't support him.

He had oprah in his back pocket, it was a nice stroll in the park for him, he needs to go under oath, be grilled properly not just this farcical cakewalk interview.
