However, the way he admitted to doping, including the timing, indicates to me that this is not a "clearing of his conscious" but something a lot more. I think it was designed to bring him back into the spotlight which he so clearly loves. I'm not saying others didn't dope and I'm certainly not a Lance fan, but I'm very suspicious of all of his accusations against others. He's obviously willing to lie to get what he wants. I just don't think he wants to clear his conscious.
I dont pretend to know what his motives are. It could be the most base of human emotions--pure get back and revenge. Or something more. However, my take is after years of lying about doping, he said "I doped... and here's how." BTW, his first response--denial--isn't uncommon. Not in cycling, track and field (Marion Jones?), nor baseball.
