Hear me out...for FIRST time offenders only. And they need to provide details. What they did, how they got it, etc...
Pros: increase transparency, accountability, & awareness on doping and those who dope. Possibly helps WADA & their practices on how to better detect it. Ultimately leads to a cleaner sport down the road.
Cons: Cheaters return to competition faster. Softer punishment means maybe more do it.

What if someone really didn’t cheat but didn’t have the money and/or confidence to challenge a ban at CAS?
If WADA found what they were already testing for, I don’t see how a confession benefits it.

Yes, they should, provided that their confession includes detailed discussion of where and they got their drugs, and who in their camp was aware or abetted their use. This would be helpful in shutting off sources of illegal drugs, as well as dirty coaches.
Only if they turn into the FBI and the courts renders a conviction for alleged cheaters, for example, Alberto, Schumacher, Caprioti, Nike Lab Technicians, Nike Doctors, and Nike PED dealers, etc.

Only a COnviction matters. Otherwise no.
If we take the view that confessions don’t matter at all in punishments, then, no athlete or coach will ever admit what they did under any circumstances. And it will be more difficult to learn the truth about doping.

WADA wants them to testify about coaches and doctors. Athletes come and go but as we have seen with Kersee, doped coaches are forever (it seems).

Any athlete will say it was just him/her and their provider and there’s no way for WADA to know otherwise. The athlete is 100% responsible for anything in their body, and being a snitch will make it more difficult to find a new sponsor. There won’t be a trial, so there would be no testifying, anyway.

No. You can make a case for a shorter suspension if they cooperate with the investigation, though. No doper acts alone. They all have coaches, trainers, agents, pharmacists and doctors who are part of the cheating. Break up the doping ring and then we can talk about a lighter sentence.

The maximum ban for doping should be 2 months. Treat track like a real sport.
Think about your question. If someone is convicted of doping it means there is a lab test to scientifically and undisputedly incriminate them. If there was a rule that would lower sentences , then the convicted dopers would all use it to get lighter sentences.
