Lance Armstrong has to 'reveal facts' says GB cycling president

[Jazzy]

Lance Armstrong should reveal all if he admits to doping on the Oprah Winfrey show later this week, says British Cycling president Brian Cookson.



The American was stripped of his seven Tour de France wins following a report by the US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada).



Armstrong, 41, who has always denied doping, has remained silent since the report was published in October, but newspaper reports say he may confess.



Let's have facts, names, places and times, Cookson told BBC Sport.



The interview is scheduled to be recorded on Monday with the 90-minute programme being aired on Winfrey's OWN network and live-streamed online from 21:00 EST on Thursday (02:00 GMT on Friday in the UK).



Armstrong ended his fight against the charges against him in August 2012. In October, Usada released a 1,000-page report saying he had been at the heart of the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme ever seen in sport.



As a result he was banned from competing in cycling and all sport sanctioned by the World Anti-Doping Authority or Usada, but the New York Times reported that if he admits to doping he could then try to return to racing in marathons and triathlons.

Topic Questions:



Just wondering if anyone is planning on watching this?



Do you really think he's going to admit to doping?



Even if he admits to doping, do you think he should be allowed to return to racing in marathons and triathlons?

Not me.



He might, it's too late to claim anything else, isn't it?



Hmm, not really, but I don't really care.
