Lance Armstrong reportedly mulling doping admission [View all]

Source: Fox News

Lance Armstrong, who has strongly denied the doping charges that led to him being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, has reportedly told associates he is considering confessing to the use of performance-enhancing drugs. The report cited anonymous sources, and said that 41-year-old Armstrong was considering the confession to help restore his athletic career in triathlons.

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. Armstrong attorney Tim Herman told the Associated Press that he had no knowledge of a possible Armstrong confession. "When, and if, Lance has something to say, there won't be any secret about it," Herman said in reaction to the New York Times report.

Herman also denied that Armstrong has reached out to USADA chief executive Travis Tygart and David Howman, director general of the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Armstrong, who recovered from testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain, won the Tour de France from 1999-2005. Although he has vehemently denied doping, Armstrong's athletic career crumbled under the weight of a massive report by USADA detailing allegations of drug use by Armstrong and his teammates on his U.S. Postal Service teams.
