AUSTIN, Texas – Lance Armstrong may be considering a change in course, dropping his years of denials and admitting that he used performance-enhancing drugs – though whether such a move would help him is uncertain.

The New York Times, citing anonymous sources, reported late Friday that Armstrong has told associates he is thinking about the move.

However, Armstrong attorney Tim Herman says that the cyclist hasn’t reached out to USADA chief executive Travis Tygart and David Howman, director general of the World Anti-Doping Agency.
