Tennis is not tainted by doping

Andy Murray, a Scottish tennis player, confirms that tennis is not tainted by usage of anabolic steroids and other related products. He notices that intake of performance-enhancing drugs doesn’t represent any problem in this sport. He claims that tennis is relatively clean. If you compare this sport to others, you can assure that it is free from doping, according to Andy Murray. But the tennis player understands that this sport is not entirely clean. He admits that certain tennis players apply prohibited drugs as well.
If you take cycling as an example, you may see that it is linked to allegations regarding doping by the well-known cyclist Lance Armstrong. Cycling commentators and journalists try to show that doping reigns in other sports too. Thus, they put efforts to direct attentions of people from cycling to others sports. They confirm that application of steroids and other doping products is a problem not just in cycling. Tennis turned out to be criticized by them quite often.
Andy Murray decided to respond to such critic words. He says that steroids and other related medicines don’t have any essential role in tennis. This person mentions about differences between tennis and cycling.
According to the tennis player, while steroids and other doping products benefit in cycling obviously, these remedies can’t produce any significant changes in tennis players. This person believes that while strength which is needed in cycling can be increased by doping, the skills that are needed in tennis can’t be perfected by steroids and other related products.
Actually, similar arguments are used in other sports too. Baseball and basketball players also confirm that steroids don’t represent any evident problem in their sports because these preparations don’t have capacity to increase performance in their sports.
But it is impossible to contest effects of steroids on performance of any sportsperson. Since these preparations are able to enhance strength, speed and endurance, they play significant role in tennis and other sports.
