Doping by college athletes

A few college athletes are caught applying banned preparations. Does it mean that they don’t take doping products? Less than 1% of college football players have been caught violating anti-doping rules. They have tested positive for steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs. Such situation must convince anti-doping agencies that they win in the war on doping. But certain suspicions arise. It is believed that a lot of college football players administer steroids and/or other related medicines but they avoid detection successfully.
Why do such suspicions appear? Changes in appearance of college football players lead to controversial points of view. Thus, changes in body mass of more than 61,000 college football players were lately analyzed by the Associated Press. Results showed that numerous college football players enhanced their body mass in short period of time significantly. Over 20 pounds were obtained by more than 4,500 college football players during a year. Moreover, near 100 individuals enhanced the body weight by more than 80 pounds during a year. As you see, the gains were evident.
Certain specialists affirm that these aspects should not trouble anti-doping officials. They claim that anti-doping officials shouldn’t subject college football players to drug tests just because they have enhanced body mass obviously.
But other experts have another point of view. Although they agree that it is impossible to affirm that several football players have applied steroids and/or other related drugs, basing only on changes in body weight, they notice that the changes may be a factor that causes suspicions connected with intake of steroids. So, such persons that have enhanced body mass in short period of time should be subjected to steroid testing.
Some college athletes that increased body mass essentially in short period of time were asked about their changes. The sportspersons claimed that they had never administered any prohibited preparations. They assured that they achieved such amazing changes naturally. The college athletes noted that they had consumed much food for this need. Thus, they assured that such essential results were achieved by them with the help of appropriate nutrition. According to them, it was not difficult to gain many pounds in short period of time.
