Great changes occurred in several types of sports after the USADA publicized its dossier on the celebrated cyclist Lance Armstrong. The well-known American cyclist was applying steroids and other related medicines throughout the whole athletic career but he never tested positive for any banned drug. He utilized several efficient ways to remain undetectable. Nevertheless, finally he turned out to be guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has demonstrated that anti-doping policies failed. Thus, they must be altered. Otherwise, competitions will be unfair. We’ll never see 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 changed in order to catch those that apply steroids and/or other related drugs.
Not only anti-doping agencies but also sportspeople believe that anti-doping policies should be modified. Some sportspersons desire to assure that their sport is clean. For example, several tennis players believe that more drug testing should be conducted in tennis. It is necessary to note that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, believe that anti-doping policy is not quite suitable in tennis. They affirm that more drug testing is required in order to assure that tennis is free of doping.
The Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic said that he would submit to more drug testing in order to induce cleaning tennis of dopers.
Roger Federer also confirmed that more tests for forbidden medications 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 Scottish tennis player Andy Muray, he said that more out-of-competition testing should take place. While tennis players are always tested during competitions, they are not tested often while being not in competitions.
