Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle have written a book on application of EPO and anabolic steroids. Guidelines given in the book can prove that the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong used forbidden medications. The book has the following title: “The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France: Doping, Cover-ups, and Winning at all Costs”. The book contains tips connected with application of EPO and steroids in cycling and ways to avoid detection. It demonstrates that drug testing is not efficacious in this sport.
Tyler Hamilton notices that sportspeople can take steroids without being detected. He affirms that the WADA doesn’t have any possibility to win. Tyler Hamilton describes weakness of the WADA in testing sportspersons for prohibited drugs.
According to Hamilton, it is easy to avoid detection while taking EPO. It is needed to utilize the procedure “microdosing”. What does it actually mean? Athletes should not inject 2,000 Units of EPO under the skin every 3rd or 4th day. They should inject 400-500 Units of EPO each 3-4 nights intravenously. This method is called “microdosing”. Applying this way of intake, cyclists can avoid detection without any problem.
Since microdosing is a proper method to avoid detection while administering EPO, this method must be appropriate in case of steroid use as well. Thus, Tyler Hamilton supposes that cyclists and other sportspersons can avoid detection while using anabolic steroids. He presents guidelines linked with this issue in details in the book. Hamilton explains how it is possible to hit tests of anti-doping agencies.
Actually, it is unlikely that guidelines provided in Tyler’s book will alter essence of cycling. While elaboration of the biological passport into anti-doping system can’t stop doping, introduction of microdosing into usage of EPO doesn’t represent the new beginning of doping in cycling. Tips of Hamilton may modify just the essence of doping in this sport. Application of doping products is a part of cycling. Let notice the truth. Like there is no Santa Claus, there is no clean sport at the high level.
