The former American female cyclist Tammy Thomas administered the designer steroid THG. As a result, she was suspended from professional sports for the whole life.
Tammy Thomas desired to take part in the 2004 Olympics. That’s why the cyclist decided to take steroids to promote her performance and make her dreams linked with the Olympics real. But since she was caught taking forbidden medicines, she was not permitted to take part in the Olympic Games.
The American cyclist was accused of lying to the Grand Jury. She was targeted during the BALCO investigation. It was defined that Tammy Thomas didn’t say truth about application of steroids and getting of THG. While she was charged with lying to the Grand Jury, she presented certain arguments in order to defend herself against the accusations.
The American cyclist affirmed that she hadn’t taken any banned medication. In fact, she said truth. At that time THG was not written on the list of banned drugs. It was considered to be just an unapproved new preparation. THG was developed by the chemist Patrick Arnold.
While the BALCO foundation sold THG to many sportspersons, it was affirmed that Tammy Thomas obtained this product from Patrick Arnold. But the female cyclist denied this affirmation. Finally, she said that Patrick Arnold’s former girlfriend supplied her with THG.
All arguments of Tammy Thomas were rejected. She was sentenced to a home detection of 6 months and probation of 5 years.
The former cyclist repented totally. She admitted that she acted wrongly. So, she decided to change her life. Being a religious person, Tammy Thomas believes that God has a plan linked with her life. She claimed that she would do everything in order to act so, as God whishes. She founded a fitness center and decided to help others to maintain their health.
