Will Armstrong confess??
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
Not that pleasant an outlook for the guy facing battling huge lawsuits year after year. Presumably he doesn't have the cash to settle with all parties out of court?
I wonder what his mental state must be like. It's only going to get worse for him as he's reviled everywhere he goes (other than the dope hero worshipers, who must be a great crowd to associate with)

One thing for sure he'll be flying business class soon. If things are worse then coach LOL
I never took drugs to improve my performance at any time. I will be willing to stick my finger into a polygraph test if anyone with big media pull wants to take issue. If you buy a signed poster now it will not be tarnished later. --Graeme Obree

The basis of Armstrong's SCA Promotions case defense?
Can untruthful (fraudulent, perjurious, lying, whatever you want to call it) testimony negate such an agreement?

Now the question is, should Armstrong be stripped of his more than 150 Strava KOMs?

Here is an update. I don't know who was responsible for the disappearance.

He held more than 150 running-course records and King of the Mountain cycling rankings (known as KOMs) before they disappeared from his Strava page yesterday.
San Francisco-based Strava, which advertised on broadcasts of last year’s Tour de France, treats Armstrong as “just another member of the community,” says Chief Executive Officer Michael Horvath. Some Strava competitors urged banning Armstrong because of his doping.

So here's what I take away from the Vaughters article http://www.cyclingnews.com/blogs/jonathan-vaughters/opinion-its-not-all-about-lance-armstrong-and-heres-how-we-can-fight-doping. Lance's heart was in the right place when he donated the money to UCI to fund anti-doping, even if that anti-doping effort might perhaps have been better carried out by a body independent of cycling. No wonder Lance agrees with the article.
Of course I am being sarcastic in this post.

Absolutely. It's called fraudulent inducement. Defrauding someone to enter into an agreement, knowing the premises are false.
What's fascinating is that he really WASN'T the best doper ever. If he was, he would have made better efforts at keeping all this under wraps. He assumed too much. Even the best warriors sometimes underestimate their adversaries.

David Walsh on that subject.
Halfway through this it really hits your point. Really funny analogy at the end too.
Here's a funny take on Oprah's thing:
