Anti-doping systems must be changed


Great changes occurred in certain types of sports after the USADA published its report on the prominent cyclist Lance Armstrong. The legendary American cyclist was administering steroids and other related drugs throughout the whole cycling career but he never tested positive for any banned drug. He applied certain efficient methods to avoid detection. 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 not be fair. We’ll never see real sports heroes.
These factors influenced not only on cycling but also on other sports. Several sports organizations claimed that anti-doping programs should be modified in order to catch those that administer steroids and/or other related substances.
Not only anti-doping agencies but also sportspersons believe that anti-doping policies must be altered. Several 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 interesting to mention that such tennis stars, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, think that anti-doping program is not quite efficient in tennis. They argue that more drug testing is required in order to be sure that tennis is free of doping.
The Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic claimed that he would submit to more drug testing in order to induce cleaning tennis of dopers.
The World №2 tennis player Roger Federer also said that more tests for forbidden drugs should take place in tennis. He noticed that earlier he was subjected to more tests. Then the number of tests became lower in tennis.
When it comes to the World №3 tennis player Andy Muray, he affirmed that more out-of-competition testing should be conducted. While tennis players are always tested during competitions, they are not tested enough while being not in competitions.
