I think he was worried he would do time like Marion Jones. How he has managed to not be sued for all his sponsorship money is a mystery
By all accounts, Nke were aware and complicit. They won't touch that with a barge pole.

I think Americans will forgive him, but the rest of the world won't. He's one of their own and they'll rally around him - the Oprah interview is the first step.
As for dominating cycling with or without drugs, I don't think it can ever be proved. I really want him to come clean and tell everyone exactly when he started taking the drugs. I really want to be told that he started taking drugs after a few wins of the Tour due to the pressure of winning rather than finding out that he cheated on every one of his Tour wins. Only time will tell. It will be an interesting interview, especially if Oprah doesn't hold back.
Pmsl. Did you watch her interview Jones? I have seen tougher questioning on Bluepeter.
She will have agreed every question beforehand in return for the biggest interview of the year.
