Legendary American cyclist admitted to doping

The American cyclist Lance Armstrong was denying taking doping products for years. However he was accused of taking banned drugs many times, he continued to claim that he never took forbidden medications. Even when the USADA proved that the cyclist doped, he lied about doping. But finally, Lance Armstrong decided to admit to using EPO, testosterone and blood transfusions.
Although many sportspersons took doping products and avoided detection successfully, there was anything unusual in the doping case of Lance Armstrong. The American cyclist achieved great success in sports. He won Tour de France races 7 consecutive times. He won also certain other awards. Lance Armstrong got worldwide success. However he submitted to numerous drug tests, he never tested positive for any forbidden medication.
Of course, the American cyclist is not the only athlete who has doped. Athletes have used forbidden preparations during past years. They continue to apply steroids and other related preparations nowadays. And professional sportspeople will administer them in future. Usage of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs is spread in professional sports. Almost every sportsperson takes forbidden drugs. While some athletes test positive for prohibited drugs and get suspensions, others are not caught.
As for the attitude towards Lance Armstrong’s doping, it’s mainly negative. Numerous individuals got significant anger, when the well-known cyclist admitted to applying EPO, the steroid testosterone and blood transfusions. A lot of persons believed in him. They thought that Lance Armstrong was “clean”. That’s why their disappointment was essential.
And what is about “clean” sports? Anti-doping officials should ponder over this issue. While anti-doping agencies claim that they have sophisticated tests to eradicate doping from sports, many athletes take steroids and/or other related preparations and avoid detection.
While Lance Armstrong has admitted to taking banned medicines, anti-doping officers should acknowledge that their policies are inappropriate.
