Although you probably don’t know anything about Scott Mercier, his statements linked with doping in professional cyclist spread very quickly. This man belonged to the US Postal Cycling team prior to Lance Armstrong’s arrival. Some statements of Scott Mercier revealed the truth which was hidden in cycling.
Actually, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) made incorrect conclusions connected with role of Lance Armstrong in doping. The 7-time Tour de France winner was accused and found guilty of administration of prohibited substances throughout his athletic career. While it may be true, the USADA stated that Lance Armstrong induced doping in professional cycling. But these statements turned out to be false. Why? Which words were pronounced by Scott Mercier?
Scott Mercier claimed that their team doctor Pedro Celaya had a specific program for the US Postal Cycling team. He discussed about the program with every rider. The doctor said that they had to ride 200-250 km per day. Moreover, the doctor organized doping program which had to accompany trainings. Thus, he supplied US Postal Cycling team’s athletes with steroids, EPO and certain other preparations.
These guidelines were offered by Pedro Celaya, when Lance Armstrong was not involved in professional cycling. This athlete suffered from testicular cancer that time. There was no any doubt that this person would not be able to be involved in professional cycling. His cancer spread on other parts of the body, including brain. After this man experienced chemotherapy he got recovery. Thus, Lance Armstrong didn’t have any link to the team. He didn’t promote taking steroids and other related preparations in professional cycling. It became obvious that doping was organized by Pedro Celaya before Lance Armstrong’s arrival.
During 1990s professional cyclists took Andriol. Then they administered testosterone patches. Under indications of Pedro Celaya riders used the method of overdosing in order to avoid detection by anti-doping officers.
