Erin, I too was taken by Lance's story and I defended him for reasons of his triumph over cancer and that no physical proof was ever offered about drug use.

So indeed, why now?  I have no answer but I'm sure that whatever he says is not anything that I'll believe.  That is the trouble with lying.  If you do and want forgiveness, act quickly while people still have an ounce of respect and trust in you.  Though you've lost of lot of integrity in their eyes your future actions will be more easily seen as you repenting and proving that you merely slipped and have no desire to lie again.

Thank you for your insight.
