Great changes occurred in some types of sports after the USADA released its dossier on the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong. The legendary American cyclist was administering steroids and other related preparations throughout the entire athletic career but he never tested positive for any prohibited product. He applied certain effective methods to avoid detection. Nonetheless, finally he was found guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has demonstrated that anti-doping programs failed. Thus, they must be altered. Otherwise, competitions will be unfair. We’ll never see real sports heroes.
These factors influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Certain sports organizations stated that anti-doping programs should be altered in order to catch those that apply anabolic steroids and/or other related drugs.
Not only anti-doping agencies but also sportspersons affirm that anti-doping programs must be altered. Certain athletes want to assure that their sport is clean. For example, several tennis players believe that more drug testing should be conducted in tennis. It is interesting to notice that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, believe that anti-doping program is not quite suitable 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 stated that he would submit to more drug testing in order to induce cleaning tennis of dopers.
The World №2 tennis player Roger Federer also said that more tests for prohibited medications should take place in tennis. He noted that earlier he was subjected to more tests. Then the number of tests became lower in tennis.
When it comes to the World №3 tennis player Andy Muray, he stated that more out-of-competition testing should take place. While tennis players are always subjected to drug testing during competitions, they are not tested enough while being not in competitions.
