Lawmakers of California affirm that anti-doping agencies violate fundamental constitutional rights of sportspersons suspected of doping. So, sportspersons that have never tested positive for any banned preparations are pursued. That’s why the legislators initiated a request to Congress to review this issue.
It is known that the USADA is sponsored chiefly by taxpayers. The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) gives 10 million dollars every year. This governmental office promotes fighting against intake of forbidden products. Its goal is to uproot illegal manufacture and drug use, crimes linked with intake of illicit products, etc.
The request of California lawmakers was initiated soon after the celebrated cyclist Lance Armstrong decided not to appeal his lifetime suspension from professional sports.
Everyone knows that the celebrated cyclist Lance Armstrong has forfeited his 7 titles won at Tour de France. He was also suspended from competitions totally.
In June Lance Armstrong filed a lawsuit against the USADA, confirming that his constitutional rights were violated. But the judge Sam Sparks refused to accept the lawsuit. He claimed that the USADA acted properly. The judge also noted that the USADA was formed in order to clean sports from sportspeople that apply forbidden preparations.
California Senator Michael Rubio noted that the judge didn’t act properly, refusing to accept the lawsuit against the USADA. So, the senators affirmed that the USADA violated rights of certain sportspersons. That’s why they presented the request before Congress.
