I've just finished reading 'The Wheelmen' and it's not pretty. What I had forgotten was that not only did Nike not distance itself from Armstrong when USADA stripped him of his titles, they actually defended him!.
I remember being amazed at that stance...common sense would have been to at very least be open to the possibility that the USADA report was true...but then the book also accuses Nike for footing the $500.000 bribe to Verbruggen.
I also don't think that Armstrong will ever truly confess. Even if a Truth and Reconciliation committee should be set up, I doubt he would ever tell the full truth. He would say what he think would be enough and that would be about it.
Another interesting section, was the meeting Armstrong had with USADA (after he was stripped of his titles by UCI). He clearly thought that if he confessed a little bit, they would reduce his ban to a couple of years, maybe less. USADA offered 8 years, which Armstrong turned down (Not surprisingly).
More sad was the amount of triathlon races who have chosen to drop their ITF affiliation, so that Armstrong could race.
According to the book, the whistleblower lawsuit against him looks likely to go ahead...in which case we will see him in a courtroom.
Also, this documentary looks interesting:
