Two years after coming clean over his use of drugs, disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong has admitted that, in the same circumstances as he found himself 20 years ago, he would "probably do it again".

The serial drugs cheat, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles in 2012, also said that he hoped he could soon return to the sport in some capacity and that he would be forgiven by the public. He added that he would like to be given his tour titles back.
