So again I'll mention, I am on the fence and neither arguing pro or against Lance. I have issues with the weird contradiction of WADA reaching into pro cycling and suspending someone for life etc but yet know cheaters in baseball still are playing. But I was thinking about a lot of comments around Lance should just come clean, do 60 minutes, get some tears going etc and everyone will forgive and move on.....
But what is the risk? Did he ever testify under oath that he never used and thus would open himself up for perjury charges? Would he implicate others?
What does he have to lose or gain at this point? What do others have to lose or gain?
WADA can't do anything about baseball, footbal, basketball or hockey in the US. They're not allowed. baseball hasn't signed on in the USA, or USADA would be working on them as well. They actually did catch a hockey player prior to the world championships some years back for testosterone, because players on national teams fall under the USADA.
He testified under oath in the SCA hearings that he never used. There are other times as well outside the US.
Plus, admission leaves him open for a ton of lawsuits, the most important of which is Floyd's Qui Tam lawsuit that a confession guarantees the government inclusion of. If he doesnt confess, the government has a tougher choice on whether or not to join Floyd's suit. legal fees, damages and punitive damages could erode the majority of Lance's fortune.
