Armstrong Must Confess Under Oath to Reduce Lifetime Sports Ban

Lance Armstrong has no chance of competing again in sports if he doesn’t divulge every detail of his performance-enhancing drug use, the head of the World Anti-Doping Agency said.

“Only when Mr. Armstrong makes a full confession under oath -- and tells the anti-doping authorities all he knows about doping activities -- can any legal and proper process for him to seek any reopening or reconsideration of his lifetime ban commence,” WADA Director General David Howman said in a statement on the anti-doping body’s website last night.
