Great changes occurred in certain types of sports after the USADA released its report on the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong. The legendary American cyclist was taking steroids and other related medications throughout the entire athletic career but he never tested positive for any forbidden preparation. He utilized certain effective ways to remain undetectable. Nevertheless, finally he was found guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has manifested that anti-doping policies failed. Thus, they should be changed. Otherwise, competitions will be unfair. We’ll never see real sports heroes.
These factors influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Certain sports organizations stated that anti-doping programs should be altered in order to catch those that apply steroids and/or other related substances.
Not only anti-doping officers but also sportspersons claim that anti-doping programs should be changed. Several sportspeople desire to be sure that their sport is clean. For example, certain tennis players confirm that more drug testing should take place in tennis. It is necessary to notice that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, believe that anti-doping policy is not quite proper in tennis. They affirm that more drug testing is required in order to assure that tennis is free of doping.
Novak Djokovic, a Serbian tennis player, stated that he would submit to more drug testing in order to induce cleaning tennis of dopers.
Roger Federer also affirmed that more tests for forbidden products should take place in tennis. He noticed that earlier he was subjected to more tests. Then the number of tests became lower in tennis.
As for the Scottish tennis player Andy Muray, he affirmed that more out-of-competition testing should be conducted. While tennis players are always subjected to drug testing during competitions, they are not tested often while being not in competitions.
