D3 Svenviking - The US legal system has nothing to do with Lance's problems. If he wants to race he has to convince the UCI (Europe based) to let him back in. What he did in Europe during races is not covered by US law, only by sport competition rules to prohibit users from competing.

Armstrong 'may admit to doping'. Why? Didn't he repeatedly deny the doping charges? Maybe he should enter politics?

It's probably just a result of the sick part of the US "legal system" where you make "deals" in order to get reduced sentences instead of going in front of a biased , by the media well "educated", jury.

If every popular sport had the level of extreme testing that cycling has we would likely see a lot of names expunged from the records.
