Lance Armstrong has stopped to deny doping

The American cyclist Lance Armstrong was denying using doping products for years. Although he was accused of administering banned preparations many times, he continued to claim that he never used forbidden medications. 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.
Although numerous sportspersons applied performance-enhancing drugs and avoided detection successfully, there was anything unusual in the doping case of Lance Armstrong. Lance Armstrong achieved great success in sports. He obtained 7 Tour de France titles. He obtained also some other awards. The American cyclist obtained worldwide success. However he was subjected to thousands drug tests, he never tested positive for any forbidden medication.
Undoubtedly, Lance Armstrong is not the only sportsman who has doped. Athletes have taken banned medications during past years. They continue to apply steroids and other related medicines nowadays. And professional sportspeople will use them in future. Application of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs is spread in professional sports. Almost every athlete applies banned products. While several sportspersons test positive for forbidden medications and receive bans, others are not caught.
As for the attitude towards Lance Armstrong’s doping, it’s mainly negative. Many individuals got significant anger, when the famous cyclist admitted to taking EPO, the steroid testosterone and blood transfusions. Many persons believed in him. They thought that Lance Armstrong competed “cleanly”. That’s why their disappointment was significant.
And what do you think about “clean” sports? Anti-doping officers should think about this issue. While anti-doping officers claim that they have sophisticated tests to combat doping in sports, many sportspersons apply anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs and remain undetectable.
While the legendary cyclist has admitted to using prohibited preparations, anti-doping officials should realize that their programs are inappropriate.
