Legislators of California confirm that anti-doping agencies violate fundamental constitutional rights of athletes suspected of doping. Thus, sportspersons that have never tested positive for any forbidden preparations are pursued. That’s why the lawmakers asked Congress to review this issue.
It is known that the USADA is sponsored chiefly by taxpayers. The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) gives 10 million dollars each year. This governmental office induces fighting against application of forbidden medicines. Its goal is to eradicate illegal manufacture and drug use, crimes resulted from administration of illegal drugs, etc.
The request of California lawmakers was initiated soon after the cyclist Lance Armstrong decided not to appeal his lifetime suspension from professional sports.
Everyone knows that the celebrated cyclist Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his 7 titles acquired at Tour de France. He was also suspended from competitions entirely.
In June Lance Armstrong filed a lawsuit against the USADA, claiming that his constitutional rights were violated. But the judge Sam Sparks didn’t desire to accept the lawsuit. He claimed that the USADA acted appropriately. Sam Sparks also noticed that the USADA was formed in order to clean sports from sportspeople who administer banned medications.
California Senator Michael Rubio confirmed that Sam Sparks didn’t do correctly, refusing to accept the lawsuit against the USADA. So, the senators claimed that the USADA violated rights of several athletes. That’s why they presented the request before Congress.
