Lance Armstrong doesn’t deny doping

Lance Armstrong was denying doping for years. Although he was accused of administering prohibited preparations many times, he continued to claim that he never applied banned products. Even when the USADA proved that the cyclist doped, he cheated about doping. But ultimately, Lance Armstrong decided to admit to applying EPO, testosterone and blood transfusions.
However many athletes took performance-enhancing drugs and avoided detection successfully, there was something unusual in the doping case of Lance Armstrong. Lance Armstrong reached great success in sports. He obtained 7 Tour de France titles. He won also certain other awards. The American cyclist obtained worldwide success. However he was subjected to many drug tests, he never tested positive for any banned substance.
Of course, the American cyclist is not the only athlete who has doped. Sportspersons have used prohibited medicines during past years. They continue to take steroids and other related preparations nowadays. And professional sportspersons will apply them in future. Administration of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs is spread in professional sports. Almost each athlete applies forbidden medications. While certain sportspersons test positive for prohibited drugs and receive bans, others avoid detection.
As for the attitude towards Lance Armstrong’s doping, it’s mainly negative. A lot of persons got significant anger, when the well-known cyclist admitted to applying EPO, the steroid testosterone and blood transfusions. Many individuals believed in him. They thought that the legendary American cyclist was “clean”. That’s why their disappointment was significant.
And what is about “clean” sports? Anti-doping officers should think about this issue. While anti-doping officers state that they have sophisticated tests to combat doping in sports, many sportspersons apply anabolic steroids and/or other related drugs and remain undetectable.
While Lance Armstrong has admitted to taking banned products, anti-doping officials should realize that their programs are improper.
