WADA statement on Lance Armstrong interview

WADA was interested to listen to Lance Armstrong’s doping confession to a TV talk show host, but wishes to state once again that it makes no difference to his status as a life-time banned athlete under the World Anti-Doping Code (Code).

If Mr. Armstrong truly wants to make amends for his doping past, then he needs to make a full confession under oath to the relevant anti-doping authorities.

He must make a sworn statement that reveals the full truth and contains information that will assist the fight against doping in sport.
