Significant changes occurred in several types of sports after the USADA published its dossier on the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong. The well-known American cyclist was administering steroids and other related drugs throughout the entire cycling career but he never tested positive for any prohibited substance. He utilized some efficient ways to prevent detection. Nevertheless, finally he turned out to be guilty of doping.
Lance Armstrong’s doping case has manifested that anti-doping policies failed. Thus, they must be changed. Otherwise, competitions will not be fair. We’ll never distinguish real sports stars.
These aspects influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Some sports organizations affirmed that anti-doping policies should be altered in order to catch those that take anabolic steroids and/or other related remedies.
Not only anti-doping agencies but also sportspersons believe that anti-doping programs should be altered. Some sportspersons desire to assure that their sport is clean. For example, some tennis players believe 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, consider that anti-doping program is not quite proper in tennis. They affirm that more drug testing is required in order to be sure that tennis is free of doping.
Novak Djokovic claimed that he would submit to more drug testing in order to induce cleaning tennis of dopers.
The Swiss tennis player Roger Federer also affirmed that more tests for banned preparations should be conducted 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 claimed that more out-of-competition testing should take place. While tennis players are always tested during competitions, they are not tested enough while being not in competitions.
