Lance Armstrong tells Oprah that he has doped

Lance Armstrong was denying doping for years. However he was accused of taking prohibited preparations many times, he continued to claim that he never administered forbidden medications. Even when the USADA proved that the cyclist doped, he cheated about doping. But finally, Lance Armstrong decided to admit to using EPO, testosterone and blood transfusions.
However a lot of sportspersons administered doping products 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. Lance Armstrong got worldwide success. However he submitted to numerous drug tests, he never tested positive for any banned medication.
Undoubtedly, the American cyclist is not the only sportsperson who has doped. Sportspersons have administered banned medicines during past years. They continue to administer anabolic steroids and other related products nowadays. And professional sportspeople will administer them in future. Usage of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs is spread in professional sports. Almost each athlete applies forbidden products. While some sportspersons test positive for forbidden medications and receive suspensions, others avoid detection.
When it comes to the attitude to Lance Armstrong’s doping, it’s mainly negative. Many persons got great anger, when the celebrated cyclist admitted to using EPO, the steroid testosterone and blood transfusions. A lot of individuals believed in him. They thought that Lance Armstrong was “clean”. That’s why their disappointment was essential.
And what is about “clean” sports? Anti-doping officials should ponder over this issue. While anti-doping officers state that they have sophisticated tests to eradicate doping from sports, many sportspersons use steroids and/or other doping products and remain undetectable.
While Lance Armstrong has admitted to taking banned medicines, anti-doping agencies should realize that their programs are weak.
