Cyclist Lance Armstrong Admits WOULD DOPE AGAIN After Performance Enhancing Drug Scandal

Lance Armstrong could be the biggest cheater to ever participate in professional sports, and as a result, he has fallen harder than nearly every other celebrity athlete. In a recent interview, Armstrong admitted that, if given the chance, he would dope all over again. After revisiting his original confession and looking at the despicable circumstances involved in the situation, nothing seems beneath the one-time great.

Armstrong is now 43-years-old and is the creator of the cancer-oriented LiveStrong movement. At age 16, Armstrong began competing as a triathlete and was a national sprint-course triathlon champion in 1989 and 1990.

He is best known for winning seven Tour de France titles, and then having those impressive accomplishments tarnished after being revealed as a doper. According to TMZ Sports, Armstrong recently expressed that he thought doping was a good decision:

"Lance Armstrong says...if he had a time machine to go back to the '90s, he would NOT have stopped himself from doping...saying, 'I would probably do it again.' The disgraced cyclist spoke about his decision to cheat -- and if he's learned anything along the way. [He said], 'If I was racing in 2015, no, I wouldn't do it again because I don't think you have to...If you take me back to 1995, when doping was completely pervasive, I would probably do it again.'"

If that doesn't seem low enough, then maybe we should revisit Lance's original confession. According to ABC News, Armstrong not only doped, he vigorously lied about it:

"Lance Armstrong, formerly cycling's most decorated champion and considered one of America's greatest athletes, confessed to cheating for at least a decade, he owed all seven of his Tour de France titles to performance-enhancing drugs. After years of denying that he had taken banned drugs, and attacking his teammates and competitors who attempted to expose him, Armstrong came clean with Oprah Winfrey in an exclusive interview..."
