I predict tomorrow 10/19/12. Releases a statement sometime in the afternoon. I don't know if it will happen then but it is my best guess. One of the first rules of PR is try to release bad news on Friday afternoon.

About when Barry Bonds and Roger Clements confess.
this is a great idea for a thread!
i predict he'll confess on January 4th, 2013.
Have UCI and IOC released final decisions? If not, then I pick that day.
I think it will be on Election Day because it will be overshadowed by the election and be page two news.

uuhhhh. I like this guess. Remember this one people, best guess so far.
Not gonna happen. He's clearly adhering to George Costanza's play book. Expect Armstrong to drive the car all the way to the end of Long Island.
Related, I bet he could actually pass a lie detector test. Remember, if you believe it, it's not a lie.
He won't. Confessing pretty much means he will go to jail. And he would take Brynel, Ferrari etc with him.
I think he's lied so many times, he's starting to believe the lie.

This is the right answer.
Don't forget that admitting he doped also means that he admits to having committed perjury, which as Marion Jones knows can land you in jail.
It also means the USPS case is likely to be reopened, and he'd be flooded with court cases as sponsors/people he silenced try to get a piece of his wealth.
He's trapped by the lie. He can't admit to anything, unless he's willing to go to jail for a year or so and wave goodbye to a lot of his money.
Hopefully though he'll be tried for perjury anyway and still go to jail. It's the least he deserves.

This will be a trifecta party.
These three will come out and confess on the same day and say "so what?"
And most people will not care.
It will be years from now and no one will bother with reopening any perjury cases.

Roger Clements? Never heard of him.
He won't directly confess.
A few years down the road, when he's destitute, he will attempt to cash in by writing a book (a la OJ) entitled "If I Did It." The book will describe a "hypothetical" scenario for how he would have doped had he, in fact, done it (but outwardly, he'll still claim he didn't).
Yes, I believe his ego is that out of control.

I don't think that he ever testified in the USPS investigation. Maybe he did.
The only perjury that I know of might have been in the SCA depositions. He is not going to jail for perjury in a civil suit. I believe the statute of limitations for perjury is 5 years, which means he would be past that anyway.
He may still have some powerful financial reasons for continuing to deny.
I give him 10 years until he puts out his "If I Did It" confession, which will be a best seller and earn him millions.
I predict that 30 years from now he will appear on the successor to piers morgan's show and still refer to the witchhunt in which he was framed.
There is a Federal statute of limitations (5 years, 7 years?)on perjury charges. The statute should have started running no later than when USADA announced their decision that he doped, because the information no longer was concealed by Lance's "conspiracy." The statute may have started running when the US Atty. decided they were not going to prosecute Lance after reviewing all of their evidence, or at any time when credible evidence of his doping was revealed to the public (Landis' charges against Lance?). Lance now is tactically running out the clock on avoiding a perjury charge and won't say anything until the statute runs.
Ladies and Gentlemen, okay, maybe just d-bags is a better description, we have Mr. Tygart on LRC posing as Mr. Obvious. Mr. Obvious, I mean, Mr. Tygart, just how many threads do their need to be on this "running webite" about Lance Armstrong? And how many posts do you personally feel you need to make regarding him and livestrong? I mean, your posting on this subject matter is just downright pathetic and sad. You must dream of Lance, and probably in that speedo he wore for his last triathlon.
