Although you probably know nothing about Scott Mercier, his affirmations linked with administration of performance-enhancing drugs in professional cyclist spread very quickly. This person belonged to the US Postal Cycling team prior to Lance Armstrong’s arrival. Some statements of Scott Mercier discovered the truth that was hidden in cycling.
In fact, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) made incorrect conclusions related to role of Lance Armstrong in doping. The celebrated American cyclist was accused and found guilty of intake of forbidden drugs throughout his athletic career. While it may be true, the USADA claimed that Lance Armstrong promoted doping in professional cycling. But these statements turned out to be false. Why? Which words were pronounced by Scott Mercier?
Scott Mercier noted that their team doctor Pedro Celaya had a specific program for the US Postal Cycling team. He discussed about the program with each cyclist. Pedro Celaya said that they had to ride 200-250 km every day. Furthermore, the doctor organized doping program which had to accompany workouts. Thus, he supplied US Postal Cycling team’s sportspersons with steroids, EPO and several other medicines.
These guidelines were offered by Pedro Celaya, when Lance Armstrong was not involved in professional cycling. This sportsman experienced testicular cancer that time. There was no any doubt that this person would not be able to be involved in professional cycling. His cancer spread on other parts of the body, including brain. After this man experienced chemotherapy he got recovery. So, Lance Armstrong didn’t have any link to the team. He didn’t induce doping in professional cycling. It became obvious that doping was established by Pedro Celaya before Lance Armstrong’s arrival.
During 1990s professional riders administered Andriol. Then they administered testosterone patches. Under guidelines of Pedro Celaya riders used the method of overdosing in order to avoid detection by anti-doping officers.
