Lance Armstrong Said to Weigh Admission of Doping
[Quote]:
Lance Armstrong, who this fall was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles for doping and barred for life from competing in all Olympic sports, has told associates and antidoping officials that he is considering publicly admitting that he used banned performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions during his cycling career, according to several people with direct knowledge of the situation. He would do this, the people said, because he wants to persuade antidoping officials to restore his eligibility so he can resume his athletic career.

Coverage ahead of actual news is one of my pet peeves. I don’t want to read what the President is thought to be likely to say in his speech tomorrow. Wake me up when it actually happens, don’t bother me with gossip and rumors before it does.
@Desiato: Agreed, but this is a hypocritical attempt to try to control public reaction via a deliberate “leak”. (You’d almost have pity on the hapless PR flacks trying to work this dog.)
Lance, say it ain’t true! Guess the Tea Party was wrong about him too.
