Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle have published a book about intake of EPO and anabolic steroids. Tips described in the book can serve as a proof that the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong administered banned preparations. 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 guidelines connected with administration of EPO and steroids in cycling and ways to avoid detection. It shows that drug testing is not efficacious in this sport.
Tyler Hamilton affirms that athletes can apply steroids without being caught. The author claims that the WADA doesn’t have any chance to win. Tyler Hamilton indicates weakness of the WADA in testing athletes for banned preparations.
According to Hamilton, it is easy to avoid detection while using EPO. It is needed to utilize the procedure “microdosing”. What does it really mean? Athletes should not introduce 2,000 Units of EPO under the skin each 3-4 days. They should introduce 400-500 Units of EPO every 3-4 nights intravenously. This method is called “microdosing”. Applying this way of administration, sportpersons can avoid detection without any essential effort.
Since microdosing is an appropriate way to avoid detection while taking EPO, this method must be appropriate in case of steroid use as well. Thus, Tyler Hamilton suggests that cyclists and other athletes can avoid detection while administering anabolic steroids. He presents recommendations related to this issue in details in the book. Hamilton explains how it is possible to hit drug testing of anti-doping agencies.
In fact, it is unlikely that guidelines presented in Tyler’s book will change nature of cycling. While introduction of the biological passport into anti-doping system can’t stop doping, introduction of microdosing into usage of EPO is not the new beginning of doping in cycling. Guidelines of Hamilton may change only the essence of doping in this sport. Usage of performance-enhancing drugs is a part of cycling. Let see the truth. Like there is no Santa Claus, there is no clean sport at the high level.
