Lance Armstrong Could Be Jailed Over Admission of Doping
Long way down
Lance Armstrong could be jailed and cycling could be dropped from the Olympics as a result of the disgraced American athlete's reported admission that he had used performance-enhancing drugs during his racing career.
USA Today and other media said on Monday that Armstrong confessed to the doping in an interview with Oprah Winfrey to be aired later this week. The talk show host confirmed the reports on Tuesday in an appearance on the "CBS This Morning" show.

Jailed.
I presume there is some rationalization as to how society is threatened by some guy taking meds to win a bike race, but I'm not sure I want to see it.
