Cyclist Lance Armstrong, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles for doping, is reportedly considering publicly admitting he used performance enhancing drugs and blood transfusions during his career, reports the NY Times.

According to the World Anti-Doping Code, an athlete may reduce his punishment if he fully confesses and explains in details how he doped and who helped facilitate.
In August, when Armstrong was banned for life from cycling, he released a statement stressing that he has taken several tests and has passed them all, proving his innocence. "I made myself available around the clock and around the world. In-competition. Out of competition. Blood. Urine. Whatever they asked for I provided. What is the point of all this testing if, in the end, USADA will not stand by it?"
The timeline of his expected confession is unclear.

Are you tired of going office daily? Earn 50$ per hour working from home with Google! I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless.

Regardless what you believe about Lance, good or bad, this story was denied. The news reported a reply to this article, and similar ones. Lance's spokesperson and lawyer stated they have had no contact at all with the NY Times. They have also not discussed a admission of any type. There is no denying the millions LIVESTRONG has raised for cancer. He stepped down from this company, which he created, so it would not cost them any donations.
