Just a thought...

(Yay for ambigious title...)

If a rider dopes, wins and afterwards thinks: 'Oh! **** this ****! This is just ****ing uncool!' calls the... whoever's in charge... and tells them "Look guys, my win. Take it! I was doped and I neither want nor deserves it!" should he then be allowed to get a milder punishment?
 
No. He's a disgrace for "the sport". We don't want these sort of things going on, or on stage. He's going to be shut down. Blacklisted. Out of the sport.
Honesty is not appreciated here. Keep your cheating lying mouth shut.
AND, we're sending Lance after your girlfriend.

Did I forget something?

Don't know if that counts as co-operating which is needed for a reduced ban - my guess is no. If he gives names, methods, etc. then he'd (probably)get a reduced ban.

Scenario as described would be unusual (very) and deserving of our regard.

Unfortunately as previously noted above likely to receive scant regard from the peloton, UCI, and most other stakeholders.

I recon that casual onlookers would probably express disdain, having little or no concept of the heart required to provide such an unsolicited confession, in the circumstances that surround today's peloton.
