Alexandre Dougnier administrated many various prohibited substances

Intake of anabolic steroids and other drugs that increase performance is widespread among amateur and professional athletes. It isn’t surprisingly, when athletes test positive for banned substances. But there are some unusual cases, when an individual tests positive for numerous prohibited medications. Here is an example.
The teenage amateur French cyclist Alexandre Dougnier tested positive for over 10 prohibited substances, including more than 5 steroid metabolites. It was at a race in France in May, 2011. He has been sentenced to 3-year ban from competitions.
It was determined that this young cyclist had used such steroids, as Anavar, Dianabol and Winstrol. Other steroid metabolites that were found in his urine sample included  3-Hydroxystanozolol, 16b-Hydroxystanozolol, 4b-Hydroxystanozolol, Oxandrolone, epi-Oxandrolone, 6b-Hydroxymethandienone and 17-epi-Methandienone.
This young cyclist was a member of the Parisian Athletic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt. Certain individuals notice that this amateur cyclist might have been a follower of the club’s doper Jacques Anquetil. This person has been claimed to be a famous individual of cycling’s history. Jacques Anquetil was a member of the club de Boulogne-Billancourt in 1950s and 1960s. Jacques Anquetil was the first cyclist who had won the Tour de France 5 times. This cyclist had received also 2 Olympic medals.
Jacques Anquetil used steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. Moreover, this cyclist defended doping during a TV debate with the French sports minister. He noted that it was not possible to endure cold, heat waves and rain in mountains during cycling without doping. Jacques Anquetil mentioned that only a fool individual would endure this agony related to the extreme sport of cycling without doping. This famous cyclist noted that drug testing might deprive personal liberty. Jacques Anquetil concluded that everybody doped.
It is important to know steroids were not so widespread among cyclists in 1950s and 1960s. Usage of more dangerous amphetamines was more widespread during those years. As for intake of anabolic steroids, it has become more enhanced during past 2 decades.
Let see which affirmations have been said about steroids, when other cyclists have used them. When the cyclist Floyd Landis was caught taking testosterone, it was argued by his legal team that neither anabolic steroids, nor other performance-enhancing drugs were capable to increase performance in cyclists.  As for the distributor of steroids Joseph Papp, he didn’t agree with this statement. He mentioned that usage of steroids was widespread in elite cycling. According to his words, a person can take testosterone gels in a clever way without being caught by anti-doping programs: users of transdermal testosterone must take in consideration detection time.
Alexandre Dougnier was not cautious and didn’t put efforts to avoid detection. He probably didn’t suppose that cyclists would be tested for banned medications at the race in Aubervilliers.
