Alexandre Dougnier, a French cyclist, didn’t put efforts to avoid detection

Administration 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 prohibited drugs. But there are certain unusual situations, when a person tests positive for many forbidden products. Here is a situation.
The teenage amateur French cyclist Alexandre Dougnier tested positive for over 10 forbidden medicines, including more than 5 steroid metabolites. It was at a race in France in May, 2011. This person has received 3-year ban from competitions.
It was defined that this person had taken 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 amateur cyclist was a member of the Parisian Athletic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt. Some individuals note that this young 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. He was a member of the club de Boulogne-Billancourt in 1950s and 1960s. He was the first cyclist that had won the Tour de France 5 times. This cyclist had received also 2 Olympic medals.
Jacques Anquetil took steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. Moreover, this cyclist defended doping during a TV debate with the French sports minister. He said that it was impossible to endure cold, heat waves and rain in mountains during cycling without doping. He mentioned that only a fool person would endure this agony connected with the extreme sport of cycling without performance-enhancing drugs. This famous cyclist noted that drug testing might deprive individual liberty. Jacques Anquetil said that everybody doped.
It is important to notice steroids were not so widespread among cyclists in 1950s and 1960s. Intake of more dangerous amphetamines was more widespread during those years. As for intake of anabolic steroids, it has become more widespread during past two decades.
Let see which affirmations have been said about steroids, when other cyclists have been caught using them. When the cyclist Floyd Landis was caught using testosterone, it was argued by his legal team that neither anabolic steroids, nor other performance-enhancing drugs were able to enhance performance in cyclists.  As for the distributor of steroids Joseph Papp, he didn’t agree with this affirmation. He mentioned that administration of steroids was widespread in elite cycling. According to his words, any individual may administrate testosterone gels in a clever way without being detected by anti-doping programs: users of transdermal testosterone should take in consideration detection time.
Alexandre Dougnier wasn’t cautious and didn’t attempt to avoid detection. He probably didn’t suggest that cyclists would be tested for prohibited medications at the race in Aubervilliers.
