Essential changes occurred in some types of sports after the USADA published its dossier on the celebrated cyclist Lance Armstrong. The legendary American cyclist was using steroids and other related drugs throughout the entire cycling career but he never tested positive for any forbidden drug. He used some effective methods to avoid detection. Nevertheless, finally he turned out to be guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has shown that anti-doping policies failed. So, they should be altered. Otherwise, competitions will never be fair. We’ll never distinguish real sports heroes.
These factors influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Some sports organizations affirmed that anti-doping policies should be modified in order to catch those that administer steroids and/or other related medicines.
Not only anti-doping agencies but also athletes claim that anti-doping policies should be changed. Certain sportspeople want to be sure that their sport is clean. For example, several tennis players claim that more drug testing should take place in tennis. It is important to mention that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, think that anti-doping policy is not quite appropriate in tennis. They affirm that more drug testing is required in order to be sure that tennis is free of doping.
Novak Djokovic stated that he would submit to more drug testing in order to promote cleaning tennis of dopers.
The World №2 tennis player Roger Federer also confirmed that more tests for forbidden substances should take place in tennis. He mentioned that earlier he was subjected to more tests. Then the number of tests became more reduced in tennis.
When it comes to 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.
