Does crying get you off the hook or get a lighter sentence

Just watching the probable crocodile tears in Australian Cricket, takes me back to the 1998 Tour de France when Virenque was having a good ole ball. He managed to return to cycling and now has a career in the sport. I get very queasy when I see these men, when caught out, maybe trying to manipulate the general public with this kind of thing.
If crying makes a difference then should Lance Armstrong should have got the Kleenex out for an Opera PR tears and snot fest? He might be back in hub of cycling now and be watching the Tour of Flanders in a VIP car instead of at home in Austin.
I may seem a harsh old goat but I don't like feeling queasy too much :roll:

The punishment all three Australian cricketers face from their national body is far more severe than that laid out by the international ruling body. Crying hasn't helped their case.

The Aussies crying = just not cricket
But Virenque? The whole sport is blood sweat and tears. And low gears

Not really but it makes people think you are sorry/repentant etc so that you can come back (hopefully) at a later date. Armstrong went down in flames because he didn't cry etc (actually he went down because he went all in on the doping). He didnt need his parents holding his hand or to blub on camera but that was his character.
