Lance Armstrong: Lobby Group "Change Cycling Now's" Founder Urges Disgraced Bicyclist To Make Full Confession

By

Jaime Fuller, who formed the lobby group Change Cycling Now, has personally urged Lance Armstrong to make a full confession of his entire involvement in doping, according to Reuters.

Last Year, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) stripped Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles. In a television interview with Oprah Winfrey soon thereafter, Armstrong admitted he'd taken performance enhancing drugs before all of his tour wins. Armstrong had long denied ever taking any, going through great lengths to either silence admonish, or sue those who confronted him about it.

Fuller, also the chief executive officer of the compression clothing company SKINS, told the Tackling Doping in Sport 2013 conference that he "wanted to believe Armstrong was clean. Last year SKINS sent a legal demand to the International Cycling Union seeking damages of $2 million for what it claimed was mismanagement in the Armstrong case."

Fuller told a conference convened by the World Sports Law Report that Armstrong owes the people full contrition for his actions, but it was not the doping itself that angered Fuller since, "we know how prevalent doping was, how entrenched it was in the culture of cycling," he said. "What upset me most all the other things that surrounded him, the way he abused people, the way that he just climbed all over people, the win at all costs."

Fuller described a conversation he had with him "not long ago and I said to him it's going to get worse for him before it gets better. I think he's bit delusional.He's got to come clean, he's got to tell everything. We didn't see that on Oprah Winfrey, what we saw on Oprah Winfrey was the convenient truths. And when it was inconvenient we didn't get the truth."That includes not protecting other people he's still protecting. He needs to show a bit of contrition."

Earlier this year, Armstrong was sued by two people as part of a class-action lawsuit, accusing his works were mere fiction rather than inspirational autobiography.

It was also announced a couple of days ago that Hollywood will be working on film projects about Armstrong.
