Great changes occurred in some types of sports after the USADA publicized its dossier on the celebrated cyclist Lance Armstrong. The legendary American cyclist was administering anabolic steroids and other related drugs throughout the entire cycling career but he never tested positive for any forbidden substance. He used several effective methods to prevent detection. Nonetheless, finally he was found guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has demonstrated that anti-doping policies failed. So, they should be altered. Otherwise, competitions will never be fair. We’ll never see real sports heroes.
These factors influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Several sports organizations affirmed that anti-doping programs should be modified in order to catch those that use anabolic steroids and/or other related preparations.
Not only anti-doping officers but also athletes believe that anti-doping policies must be changed. Certain sportspersons desire to assure that their sport is clean. For example, some tennis players affirm that more drug testing should be conducted in tennis. It is necessary to notice that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, believe that anti-doping policy is not quite appropriate in tennis. They argue that more drug testing is required in order to assure that tennis is free of doping.
The World №1 tennis player Novak Djokovic claimed that he would submit to more drug testing in order to promote cleaning tennis of dopers.
The World №2 tennis player Roger Federer also affirmed that more tests for prohibited substances should be conducted in tennis. He noticed that earlier he was subjected to more tests. Then the number of tests became more reduced in tennis.
As for the Scottish tennis player Andy Muray, he said that more out-of-competition testing should take place. While tennis players are always subjected to drug testing during competitions, they are not tested frequently while being not in competitions.
