A ban of 3 years for usage of prohibited medicines by an amateur cyclist

Administration of anabolic steroids and other drugs that increase performance is widespread among amateur and professional athletes. It isn’t surprisingly, when sportspersons test positive for controlled preparations. But there are some unusual cases, when a person tests positive for many forbidden drugs. Here is an example.
Alexandre Dougnier, a teenage amateur French cyclist tested positive for more than 10 forbidden substances, including more than 5 steroid metabolites. It was at a race in France in May, 2011. This person has received 3-year ban from competitions.
It was defined that this person had administrated such steroids, as Anavar, Dianabol and Winstrol. Other steroid metabolites which were found in his urine sample were following;  3-Hydroxystanozolol, 16b-Hydroxystanozolol, 4b-Hydroxystanozolol, Oxandrolone, epi-Oxandrolone, 6b-Hydroxymethandienone and 17-epi-Methandienone.
This young cyclist was a member of the Parisian Athletic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt. Several individuals note that this young cyclist might have been a follower of the club’s doper Jacques Anquetil. This person has been claimed to be a famous individual of cycling’s history. He was a member of the club de Boulogne-Billancourt in 1950s and 1960s. Jacques Anquetil was the first cyclist that had won the Tour de France 5 times. He had got also 2 Olympic medals.
Jacques Anquetil administrated steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. Moreover, this cyclist defended doping during a TV debate with the French sports minister. He noted that it was not possible to endure cold, heat waves and rain in mountains during cycling without doping. Jacques Anquetil mentioned that only a fool person would endure these conditions related to the extreme sport of cycling without performance-enhancing drugs. This celebrated cyclist noted that drug testing might deprive individual liberty. Jacques Anquetil said that everyone doped.
It is important to mention steroids were not so widespread among cyclists in 1950s and 1960s. Intake of more dangerous amphetamines was more widespread during those years. As for administration of anabolic steroids, it has become more enhanced during past two decades.
Let observe which affirmations have been said about steroids, when other cyclists have used them. When Floyd Landis was caught applying testosterone, it was claimed by his legal team that neither anabolic steroids, nor other performance-enhancing drugs were able to increase performance in cyclists.  As for the distributor of steroids Joseph Papp, he didn’t agree with this statement. He noticed that administration of steroids was widespread in elite cycling. According to his words, a person can apply testosterone gels in a clever way without being caught by anti-doping programs: users of transdermal testosterone should take in consideration detection time.
Alexandre Dougnier was not careful and didn’t attempt to avoid detection. He probably didn’t suggest that cyclists would be tested for banned medicines at the race in Aubervilliers.
