Finally Lance Armstrong admitted to doping

Lance Armstrong was denying doping for years. Although he was accused of taking prohibited medications numerous times, he continued to claim that he never used banned drugs. 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.
However numerous athletes took performance-enhancing drugs and avoided detection successfully, there was something unusual in the doping case of the legendary American cyclist. The American cyclist reached great success in sports. He won Tour de France races 7 consecutive times. He obtained also some other awards. Lance Armstrong got worldwide success. Although he submitted to a lot of drug tests, he never tested positive for any prohibited preparation.
Of course, the American cyclist is not the only sportsman who has doped. Sportspersons have administered forbidden medicines during past years. They continue to administer steroids and other related medications today. And professional athletes will use them in future. Usage of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs is spread in professional sports. Almost every sportsperson takes prohibited drugs. While some athletes test positive for banned medications and get bans, others avoid detection.
When it comes to the attitude towards Lance Armstrong’s doping, it’s mainly negative. Thousands individuals got great anger, when the well-known cyclist admitted to using EPO, the steroid testosterone and blood transfusions. Many individuals believed in him. They thought that Lance Armstrong was “clean”. That’s why their disappointment was significant.
And what do you think about “clean” sports? Anti-doping officers should ponder over this issue. While anti-doping officers state that they have sophisticated tests to combat doping in sports, many sportspersons take anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines and avoid detection.
While Lance Armstrong has admitted to taking banned drugs, anti-doping agencies should acknowledge that their programs are inappropriate.
