Kathy Jager, a well-known sportswoman, tested positive for anabolic steroids at the 2011 USA National Masters Outdoor Track And Field Championships in Berea. That’s why she was banned from participation in competitions. Kathy Jager can’t compete till the age of 70. This decision was made by the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
This sportswoman applied steroids because these products were recommended by the healthcare provider to stabilize her hormone balance. According to the establishments of World Anti-Doping Agency, athletes can use steroids for medical needs and participate in competitions, if they have a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). But as it is known, Kathy Jager didn’t receive a TUE that could allow her to use steroids without being banned from competitions.
It is important to notice that this sportswoman doesn’t treat intake of anabolic steroids seriously.
She tested positive for methyltestosterone at the 1999 World Association of Veteran Athletes World Championships in Gateshead (Great Britain) after she had broken world records in running of 100 meters. That competition was between sportspersons of 55-59 years old. It was the first time she was banned for intake of forbidden drugs. Now it was her second time.
As it is known, this sportsperson administrated EstraTest HS that contained esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone in a single pill.
Kathy Jager pointed out that she had used EstraTest for medical needs. But the World Masters Association didn’t believe and banned her from competitions.
The case related to Kathy Jager caused a lot of debates. Some people condemned her for intake of banned medications, others justified her.
When this sportswoman was banned the first time, she administrated steroids in order to prevent menopausal problems. The medications were prescribed by her doctor. Later she discontinued administrating prescribed medications and began to use herbal preparations.
So, Kathy Jager must not participate in competitions till the age of 70 years old. If she had had a TUE, she could compete. But nobody is sure whether the World Anti-Doping Agency will give her a TUE or not.
