Essential changes occurred in certain types of sports after the USADA released its report on the celebrated cyclist Lance Armstrong. The legendary American cyclist was taking steroids and other related drugs throughout the whole athletic career but he never tested positive for any banned preparation. He utilized some efficient methods to avoid detection. Nevertheless, finally he turned out to be guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has displayed that anti-doping programs failed. Thus, they should be altered. Otherwise, competitions will not be fair. We’ll never see real sports heroes.
These aspects influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Several sports organizations stated that anti-doping policies should be modified in order to catch those that apply anabolic steroids and/or other related drugs.
Not only anti-doping officers but also sportspeople believe that anti-doping programs must be changed. Certain athletes want to assure that their sport is clean. For example, some tennis players believe that more drug testing should take place in tennis. It is necessary to note that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, think that anti-doping policy is not quite proper in tennis. They claim that more drug testing is required in order to assure that tennis is free of doping.
Novak Djokovic affirmed that he would submit to more drug testing in order to promote cleaning tennis of dopers.
The World №2 tennis player Roger Federer also said that more tests for forbidden medicines should be conducted in tennis. He mentioned that earlier he was subjected to more tests. Then the number of tests became lower in tennis.
When it comes to the 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.
