I can't find a confession, only that when she was last contacted that she didn't want to talk about it.

In the days after her title was taken away, she said that she doesn't have to defend herself because she had done nothing wrong.

Found an interesting archived article of the man who claimed to tell her how to cheat in the Boston Marathon.
