Personal and financial troubles continue for the disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong with word that he could now face criminal charges after covering up his illegal doping.
Armstrong will not likely face charges for using drugs, rather he could be charged for silencing the usage.
Federal investigators are in the middle of a criminal investigation for obstruction, witness tampering and intimidation, ABC News reported.
“They say he has to come forward, under oath, with names, dates, who helped him get the drugs, who helped him maintain the cover-up, pass the drug-tests,” ABC’s Neal Karlinsky reported.
“There has been talks of him coming in before the Oprah interview, those have since stalled.”
Armstrong confessed to lying and using performance enhancing drugs throughout his career in an interview with Oprah on the OWN network in January.
