Despites of WADA’s efforts, doping reigns in sports

Recently Alan Abramson published an article where he noted whether tests conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) were efficient.
The WADA conducts more and more tests for steroids and other related medicines every year. It seems that those that apply steroids and/other related medicines are caught. One may believe that the world of sports and professional bodybuilding will be soon cleansed from administration of banned medicines. For example, numerous tests for banned medications have been conducted at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
But certain questions appear here. Are these tests sophisticated enough to detect any sportsperson who dopes? Are these tests efficacious?
Let meditate over results of certain tests. In 2010 the WADA published statistics according which 258,267 samples were analyzed by 35 WADA-accredited labs. Out of these samples 4,820 results represented atypical findings. Circa 60 % of positives indicated about steroid use. Numerous positives were for cannibinoids. 10 % positives indicated about usage of marijuana. As you observe, just 60% out of those that administered forbidden medicines applied steroids. Is it real? Don’t show the results of the tests that the WADA doesn’t do the job suitably?
The former president of the WADA Dick Pound thinks that at least 10 % of athletes who participated in the 2012 Summer Olympics took steroids. He affirms that those steroid users that are not clever are caught by anti-doping officials. He also claims that a sportsperson that has been caught administering banned preparations will fail an IQ test. He concludes that just unwise sportspeople can’t avoid detection.
So, when you read that the WADA has conducted numerous tests to make sports clean, think whether these affirmations are true. Has the WADA ability to make competitions fair? Why does the WADA notice about number of tests?
It seems that the WADA only desires to convince people that the job is done properly. The WADA wants to secure future funds. This is the reality.

Doctors and certain scientists elaborated and promoted usage of steroids by athletes

There are debatable points of view about anabolic steroids. Users praise these products because they produce obvious benefits. Specialists conduct various researches, trying to define whether these drugs are safe for application. Sports organizations ban administration of these preparations because they have great influence on performance. When it comes to governments of certain countries, they have made buying, usage and distribution of anabolic steroids illicit. Thus, those who are caught violating these laws may be enforced to pay a fine and/or go to jail.
You may find numerous articles that demonize steroids for certain crimes. However there are many statements about these medications, the most of people don’t comprehend the nature of these drugs.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids have ability to increase muscle mass and help to gain essential strength. While anabolic features of these medications promote creating new muscles, androgenic features are responsible for development of male sexual characteristics.
What induced elaboration of these medicines? It is known that there were numerous battles between various cultures since ancient time. Thus, different cultures tried to introduce something that could help soldiers to become braver and have strength enough to win. They used rhinoceros horn, shark tooth and other some extracts. Later testicles of animals started to be studied. It promoted elaboration of anabolic steroids.
 The hormone androstenone was isolated from several other compounds in 1930 for the first time by the scientist Adolf Butenandt. Then other types of hormones were synthesized. By 1939 testosterone was synthesized for the first time.
1940s and 1950s were years of great steroid development. Many researches were conducted in different countries in the whole world. Scientists studied impact of these medicines on performance of sportspeople and bodybuilders. Certain physicians promoted usage of steroids among professional sportspersons. John Ziegler was one of such doctors. He administered Dianabol to Olympic athletes.
Steroids were also widely taken in the world of sports and bodybuilding in 1960s and in 1970. More than 50 % Olympic athletes took these products. However new kinds of tests were introduced by anti-doping agencies, it was impossible to combat administering these products by sportspersons.
Today more sophisticated tests for steroids and other related preparations have been introduced. Nevertheless, these medicines are still widely administered in the world of sports and bodybuilding. Clever consumers know certain methods to take steroids without being detected.

Non-competitive bodybuilders widely administer steroids

It is stated that the most of steroid users are professional sportspersons and high school students who go info sports. It seems to be true because anabolic steroids have ability to enhance muscle mass and strength. These are effects which appreciated by sportspersons because they try to win competitions. Furthermore, you come across many articles that describe steroid scandals which occur in sports: in Major League Baseball, National Football League, Olympics, etc. You become convinced that steroids are such products that dominate mainly in sports. You also read many pieces of news that note about intake of performance-enhancing drugs by high school students who look at professional sportspersons and desire to become so famous, as they are.
But Lena Butler, a sportswriter, states that the most part of steroid users are not athletes. The most of steroid users are bodybuilders who don’t take part in any competitions. Thus, non-competitive bodybuilders compose 80 % of steroid users. The most of them are over 25 years old. These are persons that work as military professionals, officers of law enforcement, etc. So, these are those who have such jobs that require strength. These persons apply steroids in order to increase their strength and do their jobs properly.
It is also interesting to mention that many persons that have own business use steroids. They have sufficient money to look attractively. Thus, they take steroids for improvement of physique and anti-aging needs.
When it comes to high school students who are involved in sports, they use steroids because they want to succeed in sports. They want to win competitions, become well-known and receive millions of dollars. Steroid-using famous sportspersons have great impact on the decision of high school students to take steroids. Actually, it is dangerous. Health of high school students can be destroyed because of steroids obviously. Unluckily, this class of steroid users doesn’t want to alter their attitudes to steroids. Although they are warned about risks linked with steroids for young consumers, they continue to experiment with steroids. The number of high school students that take these preparations rises. If some years ago 1% of high school students applied steroids, today the number is doubled.
However there is a tendency to condemn steroids, it is important to remember that these medications are used not only for enhancement of performance. They are utilizable for clinical purposes. Doctors recommend these preparations for those that experience different diseases. These medications are prescribed for persons with cancer. HIV/AIDS- individuals administer steroids in order to combat muscle loss. These drugs efficaciously cure other conditions as well.

Most common unwanted reactions of steroids

No one can contest benefits that are produced by application of steroids. Consumers of these medications acquire endurance and increase their muscle mass. As a result, those who participate in competitions win awards. But there is  a bad piece of news here. Anabolic steroids, like any other drugs, can lead to negative reactions. Functions and even structure of certain organs may be destroyed because of steroid use.
That’s why before taking anabolic steroids it is needed to know about each potential side reaction which may occur on account of these medicines. It is a good idea to study information about these drugs before you make a final decision to apply them. You should know that some side effects of these preparations may be even irreversible.
It is also necessary to know indications connected with application of steroids and follow them. Inappropriate administration may cause life-threatening unwanted consequences.
There are also indications which note how you can reduce dangers linked with some undesirable consequences or reduce their severity. Those who have appropriate workouts during steroid use, apply correct dosages, have appropriate nutrition and administer certain ancillary preparations for reduction of undesirable results will not suffer from severe health problems.
Grave  unwanted effects ordinarily trouble those who take enhanced dosages and don’t follow other important guidelines.
However it is claimed that soon administration of steroids will become safe, you may observe that this time has not come yet. That’s why you should know about all possible dangers in order to avoid several troubles or at least to decrease severity.
The most common troubles connected with administration of steroids are enumerated below:
- liver dysfunctions;
- kidney troubles;
- skin problems;
- cardiovascular diseases;
- psychological troubles;
- problems linked with reproductive system.
Why may be liver functions destroyed by steroids? Let see. Steroids contain toxins. The body tries to get rid of them. Liver takes part in this process actively.  So, its functions may be destructed because of the toxins contained in steroids. Cysts and tumors may be formed. It is true also about kidneys that also play essential role in excretion of toxins. It is known that toxins may be also excreted through skin. That’s why  common adverse reactions of steroids include acne, oily skin and other related problems.
Steroids may also increase cholesterol levels; so, arteries around the heart are blocked; blood clots appear. The heart may become unable to circulate the blood through the body appropriately. High blood pressure may also appear in steroid users. Even heart attacks may be caused by steroids.
Psychological health may be damaged by steroids as well. Those that apply these products may become aggressive; they may experience abnormal changes in mood and depression. Other mental troubles may occur as well.
As for reproductive system, it may be damaged too. Male users of steroids may experience shrunken testicles, hypertrophy of prostate, gynecomastia, infertility, etc. Female consumers of steroids may face such problems, as enlargement of clitoris, hirsutism, irregularities in menstrual cycles, etc.
Unfortunately, steroids may influence on other systems negatively as well. Only the most common undesirable consequences are described in the article.

Undoubtedly, this is an unpleasant condition that may destroy relations between partners. Men try to get rid of this condition.

Let provide substantial information about each of these drugs.
The pharmaceutical company Vivus has developed the drug Avanafil. Several studies have shown that benefits of this drug are evident just 15 minutes after it has been used. But the FDA has not yet approved this medicine. So, it is necessary to wait till its safety will be proven.

Steroids affect brain in adolescent consumers of steroids

If you are interested in news about steroids, you can confirm that almost each article mentions about “roid rage” that is claimed to be one of the gravest negative results of these medications. Anabolic steroids are blamed for certain violations, murders and other crimes. It is confirmed that these products may cause uncontrolled aggression that leads to abnormal behavior. However it is not proven scientifically whether steroids can really cause “roid rage”, media notices about this negative result too often. Unluckily, some other serious undesirable reactions are rarely mentioned in news.
Teenagers must be especially warned about some specific negative results that can appear in them, if they apply steroids in their adolescent years. The specialists Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark of the Giesel School of Medicine in Dartmouth notice that these medicines may have very negative influence on adolescents’ brains. These scientists have conducted several researches and made conclusions, basing on the results of their researches. These professors confirm that steroids may cause in adolescents something more serious than uncontrolled aggression.
According to Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark, steroids are very dangerous for teenagers because this class of consumers may face some specific serious adverse reactions that don’t appear in adult consumers of steroids. The experts notice that steroids may affect the brain in adolescents. So, the brain’s structure and functions can be destroyed in teenagers because of steroids. Moreover, these adverse reactions may be permanent. It means that brain’s disorders which are manifested through unusual behavior may present even when the adolescents grow up. Thus, side psychological effects may be displayed even in their adulthood.
But it is necessary to mention that the studies conducted by Leslie Henderson and Ann Clark have enrolled animals. Thus, these statements are made on the basis of animals’ reactions to steroid use. One may doubt whether effects of steroids on teenagers’ brains are the same as those on animals. Nevertheless, Leslie Henderson is sure that these conclusions are true for humans as well.
Furthermore, it has been defined that side consequences of steroids on teenagers are more lasting than those that appear in adult consumers of steroids.
Leslie Henderson works together with such specialists, as Marie Onakomaiya, Donna Porter and Joseph Oberlander.
Leslie Henderson states that it is seen that steroids affect teenagers’ behavior. As we know, the brain controls behavior. Since behavior is abnormal, the brain’s structure and functions have certain disorders.
Thus, it is important to teach adolescents about all potential risks connected with steroid use. If they know about these potential negative consequences, they will be able to make a right decision linked with steroids.

Steroid users in Baseball Hall of Fame

What do retired players of the Major League Baseball affirm about application of steroids? This is the question that is frequently asked by reporters and widely presented by media. Different persons have different opinions about this issue.
Recently several retired players of the Major League Baseball were interviewed by several journalists who tried to learn opinions of the former players about the steroid era in baseball. Should steroid users be in the Hall of Fame?
Reggie Jackson, Goose Gossage, Dave Henderson, Curt Schillling, Mike Piazza, George Brett and Morgan Ensberg don’t want to see consumers of steroids in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Later a journalist asked Wade Boggs about this issue as well. He played professional baseball for 18 years. He was asked whether consumers of steroids could be allowed to be chosen for the Hall of Fame. The retired baseball player confirmed that consumers of steroids should not be chosen for the Hall Of Fame. According to his point of view, it is not the best message for American youth. No one should be allowed to be in the Hall of Fame and confirm that he is one of the most successful players because he has administered anabolic steroids. It is the bad message for the youth of the whole world.
When Wade Boggs was asked about Roger Clemens, Boggs said nothing negative about him.
Roger Clemens was accused of lying before the Congress about intake of steroids and HGH. Obstruction of Congress, perjury and false statements were charges against this person. But recently the jury acquitted him. The decision of the jury dismissed the affirmation that Roger Clemens succeeded due to intake of banned preparations.
While Wade Boggs said nothing negative about Roger Clemens, he pronounced several harsh words about pitchers that take steroids and succeed unfairly.

Top Olympic weightlifters were banned from Average Broz’s Gymnasium”

The top Olympic weightlifters Patrick Mendes and Joshua Gilbert were banned from “Average Broz’s Gymnasium” (Las Vegas, Nevada). They tested positive for forbidden medicines. Steroids were not the drugs administered by these sportsmen. They administered non-steroidal drugs that are also forbidden under Code of the WADA.
Patrick Mendes tested positive for prohibited preparations in February 2012 before the United States Olympic Team Trials for Weightlifting defined who would represent the US at the 2012 Olympic Games. The athlete tested for HGH; as a result, he was suspended.
Joshua Gilbert tested positive for the diuretic drug furosemide at the 2012 National Weightlifting Championships. It was in March 2012.
Furosemide is a medication that is used by those that apply steroids in order to hide usage of steroids. Moreover, this medication helps athletes to lose weight in order to correspond to certain weight classes.  Weightlifting, boxing and wrestling are sports that divide competitors to weight classes.
HGH and furosemide are medications which are banned by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). The anti-doping system of the IWF is in the harmony with the WADA Code.
Mendes and Gilbert were trained by John Broz. Broz lived and trained with the celebrated Bulgarian weightlifter Antonio Krastev during his career. Krastev broke a world record snatch of 216 kg in 1987. John Broz learned the Bulgarian system of trainings and brought some methods to America. He founded own training facilities in Las Vegas.
Mendes was sentenced to 2-year ban. As for Gilbert, he was sentenced to 3-year ban.
The suspensions of these weightlifters are failure for “Average Broz’s Gym”. Thus, the greatest weightlifters were not allowed to represent their native country at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Metabolites of steroids were not found in sample of Larry Olubamiwo

The heavyweight boxer Larry “War Machine” Olubamiwo applied certain anabolic steroids, HGH, IGF-1 and other related preparations during six years. However certain tests have been conducted earlier, he was caught only in January 2012. After a fight against Sam Sexton Larry Olubamiwo tested positive for prohibited medications. Metabolites of steroids were not found in his sample. The athlete tested positive for EPO. EPO represents a blood boosting medicine.
Prolonged application of prohibited products by Olubamiwo was a real embarrassment for the United Kingdom Anti-Doping. Andy Parkinson, the CEO of the UKAD, tried to prove that the suspension of Olubamiwo for usage of 13 different prohibited products is a real success of the UKAD in the struggle against doping.  
Andy Parkinson confirmed that it was an unusual case. The boxer administered steroids and other related medicines for prolonged time without fear to spoil his health, career and reputation. He was sentenced to 4-year ban.
But the alarming aspect is following: Olumamiwo could avoid detection for prolonged time, despites significant efforts of anti-doping officers to “clean” sports from usage of doping medicines.
Olubamiwo was caught just because the UKAD was informed by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that he became the target of an investigation linked with illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other related drugs in the US. Then the UKAD conducted a test that resulted in positive results for EPO.
Robert Smith, the General Secretary for the British Boxing Board of Control, supported the affirmations of Andy Parkinson about efforts and success of anti-doping agencies. He claimed that the case demonstrated that cheating couldn’t be hidden.
What is your opinion about the case? Do positives for EPO and the ban of Olubamiwo demonstrate that anti-doping agencies succeed? Or does the case manifest that anti-doping policy is not suitable?
Every person can make own conclusion. But it is clear that the sportsman could take different forbidden substances for 6 years without being detected by anti-doping officers.

WWE responds to accusations associated with steroid use and Linda McMahon

Linda McMahon puts significant efforts to demonstrate that she is a politician that deserves to be trusted. She tried to get rid of steroid scandals that have destroyed the reputation of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) throughout many years. Undoubtedly, her opponents always used possibilities to note about serious problems associated with steroid use in the WWE.
Linda McMahon is the former President and CEO of the WWE. The WWE was founded by her and her husband Vince McMahon in 1990. Almost 60% of the traded stock of the WWE belongs to them. They got great profits due to the WWE Empire. One billion dollars was got by the McMahons due to the business related to the WWE. Mrs. McMahon ended her tenure of the WWE in 2009 and started her political career. She joined the Republican Party seeking a Senatorial Seat for the State of Connecticut.  Linda McMahon wasted approximately 50 million dollars on the campaign. But she didn’t get success. The nominee of the Democratic Party Richard Blumenthal became the senator. Nowadays she is seeking the Republican nomination in order to replace Joe Lieberman, another retiring Senator for Connecticut’s State.
Since Linda McMahon got involved in politics, many individuals started criticizing her for usage of steroids in the WWE.
 A newspaper affirms that Linda McMahon loves to notice that she has created certain jobs but she doesn’t answers questions about the jobs. An article claims that the CEO of the WWE ridicules stupid men that humble women and promotes usage of steroids.
The WWE responded quickly to these affirmations. The Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications for WWE Brian Flinn has confirmed that the WWE cares about health of wrestlers and random drug testing manifests that the WWE is against application of steroids. At least 4 random tests are conducted per year for each wrestler. Those who test positive for banned products are sentenced to suspensions. Thus, the WWE bans steroid use. Moreover, Brian Flinn has mentioned that the WWE has one of the most skillful wellness systems in sports and entertainment.

Victor Conte: athletes continue to use steroids but they apply lower dosages

Recently Victor Conte, the founder of BALCO, expressed his thoughts about testing program of anti-doping agencies and the current state of doping among sportspersons.
Conte has noted that it is unlikely that the 2012 Summer Olympics would be free from administration of steroids and other doping products. Conte claimed in an interview that Olympic anti-doping testing policy had different lacks. So, consumers of steroids were also chosen to compete at the 2012 Olympics.
The founder of BALCO doesn’t believe that usage of forbidden products has reduced. He doesn’t agree with individuals who claim that reduced performance in various sports is a proof that steroids and other related drugs are almost excluded from sports.
Conte confirms that steroids are widely used now too. Efforts of anti-doping agencies led to adoption of athletes. Thus, sportspersons don’t take as increased dosages as have been administered before.  Nonetheless, usage of steroids and other banned drugs continues to be a concern.
Victor Conte is sure that sportspersons don’t take such designer steroids, as THG. Instead of taking such medications, sportspersons use the steroid testosterone that is claimed to be the grandfather of all steroids.  Victor Conte adds that since testosterone is fast-acting and it comes in form of creams, gels, patches and injections, it is widely administered by sportspeople. Moreover, not very high doses of testosterone are needed in order to get great effects. This steroid is widespread among Major League Baseball players.
Victor Conte criticizes anti-doping policy. He states that anti-doping agencies have essential ambiguities. Even a truck may go through loopholes that are in doping laws, according to the founder of BALCO.

Some steroid scandals don’t have any real basis

Media is used to exaggerate any case linked with steroids in sports and bodybuilding. Numerous facts are described in misleading ways. Thus, steroid scandals appear without any basis. Here is the case.
Rano Izhar, the president of the Singapore Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (SBFF), has admitted that he provided instructions connected with intake of anabolic steroids.
Any person who belongs to the world of bodybuilding knows that steroids, HGH and certain other related preparations are widely spread and applied by bodybuilders. Certain news websites have written many articles, treating the actions of the SBFF president as a steroid scandal. But be reasonable! He has not distributed anabolic steroids, he has only spread information.
”The New Paper”, a Singapore’s newspaper”, acquired emails between a bodybuilder and the president of the SBFF that were written before Izhar became the president. Izhar provided instructions related to steroids cycles to the bodybuilder. The cycles suggested usage of 14 different products, including such steroids, as Anadrol 50, Dianabol, Primobolan Depot, etc. Clomid was also recommended.
Izhar noted that the instructions were only for his friend who was an amateur bodybuilder. Furthermore, Izhar was not the president of the SBFF, when he provided the recommendations.
Izhar’s friend planned to administer steroids. He decided to do it. Izhar didn’t promote it. He only wanted to help his friend. He wished he used steroids in the safest way.
Izhar admitted that he had provided recommendations related to steroid cycles. He confirmed that he needed to tell his friend which medications were effective and which medicines didn’t work properly. Izhar added that when anyone asked him about ways to take steroids, it meant that they would apply them, regardless of the answer. Thus, the president just felt that he had to note at least the most important aspects which should be known about steroids.
Izhar has obtained the degree of Doctor in “lifestyle medicine” at the Harvard Medical School. He felt that he had to do everything he could for harm reduction for those that apply steroids and other related drugs.

Polish police officers busted international drug company and seized large amounts of steroids

Anyone must have seen that the US tries to bust multinational companies that advertise steroids on internet and deliver them to clients around the world.
Recently the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has co-worked with Poland’s law enforcement officers in order to catch individuals that have been suspected in shipment of steroids and other related medicines to various countries of the world.
This investigation began approximately one year ago. The polish Border Guard Straz Graniczna intercepted large doses of steroids that were sent to clients in the US and Canada. Steroids in form of tablets and injections were seized at the Warsaw mail terminal.
Straz Graniczna co-worked with US DEA. Ultimately two individuals from Poland were arrested. One of them was detained, after he left the post office. More than 7, 000 steroid pills and 19, 000 steroid vials and 47, 000 Polish zloty or more than 14, 000 US dollars were discovered in this man’s car. But it was only the beginning of seizures.
It was determined that an apartment located in Warsaw was a base of the underground lab that manufactured steroids that are commonly applied by American bodybuilders. When law enforcement officials raided the apartment, they found drug paraphernalia there. The apartment was utilized not just for manufacture of steroids but also for storage of prepared steroids. About 666, 000 steroid pills, 19, 000 vials of steroids and more than 5, 000 steroid ampoules were confiscated during the raid. The medicines were estimated. The price was claimed to be 6 million Polish zloty that are equal to 1, 8 million US dollars.
It is suggested that the US will ask Polish authorities to extradite these two men.
The USA becomes aggressive, when it comes to struggle against steroids. International steroid rings are busted.
But the US doesn’t have great success working with Europe and Asia. The US presses other countries to arrest and extradite steroid dealers.
Distributors of steroids that were connected with British Dragon and Musclebear were arrested and extradited to the US from Thailand and Cyprus.
The US pressed Austria to arrest Mihael Karner, the leader of an international drug company. He was arrested. Then the USA pressed Austrian authorities to extradite this individual to the US. But federal prosecutors didn’t succeed that time. Karner paid one million Euros to Austrian authorities to prevent the extradition and arrive to his native country Slovenia.

Federal prosecutors didn’t respond anything to affirmations of jurors presented for media

Names of 12 individuals (4 men and 8 women) that acted as jury at the case against the athlete Roger Clemens were released by the judge Reggie Walton.
The government desired the jury to be convinced that the athlete had lied before the Congress about usage of steroids and HGH. But since the jury didn’t believe it, the government criticized the individuals who composed the jury. Some persons that composed the jury were interviewed.
A political activist, an art historian, a teacher of deaf children, an official of Treasury Department and an employee of the Canadian Embassy composed the jury.
Joyce Robinson-Paul, a political activist, was interviewed by the New York Daily News some days after Roger Clemens was acquitted. She noted that the jurors knew that they had to be fair to both the federal prosecutors and Roger Clemens. But they didn’t find anything that had to be prosecuted.  Later she also noted that the federal prosecutor couldn’t prove their accusations.
Bradford Weaver, an employee of the Canadian Embassy stated that the government acted wrongly. He noted that such situations should not happen again. He also claimed that there was nothing to be pursued. He was interviewed by the Associated Press. Bradford Weaver also pointed out that every juror comprehended from the very beginning that Roger Clemens was not proven guilty of any charge. Bradford Weaver pointed that each juror was unanimous.
The employee of the Canadian Embassy was also asked whether he thought that Roger Clemens really took steroids. Journalists of the Associated Press also asked him whether he thought that the governmental case against the baseball player represented just the waste of taxpayers’ funds. But the employee of the Canadian Embassy refused to answer the questions.
Another juror who chose not to be identified stated that the jurors didn’t comprehend how the government made the decision to waste huge sums of money during five years in order to prosecute Roger Clemens. This person noticed that it was impossible to comprehend why the prosecution took place 5 years.
Other jurors didn’t provide any information.
As for feds, they seemed to be wholly disappointed. They refused to respond to the affirmations presented by the jurors.
