Andy Murray: steroids don’t play any role in tennis

The Scottish professional tennis player Andy Murray affirms that tennis is not tainted by administration of anabolic steroids and other related medicines. He claims that application of doping products doesn’t represent any problem in this sport. He states that tennis is relatively clean. If you compare this sport to others, you can assure that it is free from doping, according to Andy Murray. But the tennis player knows that this sport is not wholly clean. This person admits that certain tennis players take prohibited products as well.
If you take cycling as an example, you may see that it is associated with allegations regarding doping by the famous cyclist Lance Armstrong. Cycling commentators and journalists put efforts to show that doping reigns in other sports too. Thus, they put efforts to direct attentions of people from cycling to others sports. They state that application of steroids and other related preparations is a problem not just in cycling. Tennis turned out to be criticized by them quite frequently.
Andy Murray made the decision to respond to such criticism. He affirms that steroids and other related medicines don’t have any significant role in tennis. This athlete mentions about differences between tennis and cycling.
According to the tennis player, while steroids and other doping products benefit in cycling obviously, these remedies can’t produce any significant changes in tennis players. This athlete considers that while strength that is required in cycling can be added by doping, the skills that are needed in tennis can’t be perfected by steroids and other related preparations.
Actually, similar arguments are used in other sports too. Baseball and basketball players also claim that steroids don’t represent any serious problem in their sports because these drugs don’t have capacity to increase performance in their sports.
But it is impossible to contest efficacy of steroids on performance of any sportsperson. Since these drugs are capable to add strength, speed and endurance, they have essential role in tennis and other sports.
