There are many who are living with the choices they made, and the guilt is overwhelming them, and they are now prepared to admit to it, at great personal cost. Maybe Armstrong's mindset is to iron-clad that he won't ever admit to anything.

Also, it was interesting the read of Kristin's comments, that she has been bound by legal confidentiality agreements to remain silent on all this... plus her loyalty to the three kids. She must be going through hell at the moment.

bigfred probably had it right when saying let sleeping dogs lie.

But Armstrong was so arrogant about everything, that USADA couldn't let it go when there was evidence of his doping and his fundamental part in developing the masks and evasion of detection.

I still maintain Armstrong is at risk of prosecution and jail -- I don't think he was through the process enough in the legal system to take advantage of double-jeopardy rules.
