If Lance Confesses, Will Bikers Still Dope?  Lance Armstrong may
confess to using performance-enhancing drugs. Bryn Lennonryn
Lennon/Getty Images Sport  While Lance Armstrong considers a
confession to doping, according to a report in the New York
Times, sport and cycling analysts theorize about the effects an
apology would have on the use of performance-enhancing drugs in
the sport.  His motives may be more selfish than altruistic.
Armstrong wants to compete again. The Times' Juliet Macur
reports that a reduced sentence is a possibility, depending on
what information Armstrong could share with the United States
Anti-Doping Agency.  Yet Armstrong still has the power to
influence both the sport and young people worldwide, experts
say. And with an appearance scheduled on Oprah next week, the
cycling world is abuzz. With so much evidence against him, a
confession or apology wouldn't change many opinions about his
drug use. Analysts say the effects of a confession depend
largely on how it's executed.  VIDEO: What
