Great changes occurred in several types of sports after the USADA published its report on the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong. The well-known American cyclist was using steroids and other doping products throughout the entire cycling career but he never tested positive for any banned medicine. He applied some efficacious methods to prevent detection. Nonetheless, finally he was found guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has demonstrated that anti-doping policies failed. So, they should be changed. Otherwise, competitions will not be fair. We’ll never see real sports stars.
These factors influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Several sports organizations affirmed that anti-doping policies should be altered in order to catch those that administer anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines.
Not only anti-doping agencies but also athletes consider that anti-doping programs must be altered. Certain sportspersons want to assure that their sport is clean. For example, certain tennis players think that more drug testing should be conducted in tennis. It is interesting to note that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, believe that anti-doping program is not quite effective 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, affirmed that he would submit to more drug testing in order to promote cleaning tennis of dopers.
The Swiss tennis player Roger Federer also claimed that more tests for forbidden substances should be conducted in tennis. He mentioned that earlier he was subjected to more tests. Then the number of tests became lower in tennis.
As for the World №3 tennis player Andy Muray, he affirmed that more out-of-competition testing should be conducted. While tennis players are always tested during competitions, they are not tested often while being not in competitions.
