Lance Armstrong plans to admit doping to Oprah

[Steroid News]

The only reason I can see for a confession is so that Armstrong can compete again. If he doesn't get to compete again, what's the point?

In the interview, which is scheduled to air Thursday on the Oprah Winfrey Network, [Lance Armstrong] plans to admit to doping throughout his career but probably will not get into great detail about specific cases and events, the person said. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak publicly about it.

His admission will not bring him back to competition anytime soon. Having been banned for life and stripped of his seven titles in the Tour de France, Armstrong would have to provide substantial assistance to doping officials before he could have his eligibility reinstated. If he provided new information about cheating in the sport, he could have his ban reduced to no less than eight years, according to the World Anti-Doping Agency code. It's also possible that WADA and USADA could reach an agreement to reduce the ban further, depending on his information and cooperation.
