Administration of anabolic steroids and other medications that increase performance is widespread among amateur as well as professional sportspeople. It isn’t surprisingly, when athletes test positive for controlled drugs. But there are some unusual situations, when a person tests positive for numerous forbidden products. Here is a situation.
The teenage amateur French cyclist Alexandre Dougnier tested positive for more than 10 banned products, including more than 5 steroid metabolites. It was at a race in France in May, 2011. This person has received 3-year ban from competitions.
It was defined that this young cyclist had taken such steroids, as Anavar, Dianabol and Winstrol. Other steroid metabolites which were discovered in his urine sample included 3-Hydroxystanozolol, 16b-Hydroxystanozolol, 4b-Hydroxystanozolol, Oxandrolone, epi-Oxandrolone, 6b-Hydroxymethandienone and 17-epi-Methandienone.
This amateur cyclist was a member of the Parisian Athletic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt. Some individuals note that this amateur cyclist might have been a follower of the club’s doper Jacques Anquetil. This person has been considered to be a celebrated individual of cycling’s history. Jacques Anquetil was a member of the club de Boulogne-Billancourt in 1950s and 1960s. Jacques Anquetil was the first cyclist who had won the Tour de France 5 times. This person had obtained also 2 Olympic medals.
Jacques Anquetil administrated steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. Furthermore, this cyclist defended doping during a TV debate with the French sports minister. He said that it was impossible to endure cold, heat waves and rain in mountains during cycling without doping. Jacques Anquetil confirmed that only a fool person would endure these conditions connected with the extreme sport of cycling without doping. This well-known cyclist noted that drug testing might deprive individual liberty. Jacques Anquetil concluded that everybody doped.
It is necessary to mention steroids were not so widespread among cyclists in 1950s and 1960s. Administration of more dangerous amphetamines was more widespread during those years. As for administration of anabolic steroids, it has become more widespread during past 2 decades.
Let mention which affirmations have been said about steroids, when other cyclists have used them. When Floyd Landis was caught applying testosterone, it was argued by his legal team that neither anabolic steroids, nor other performance-enhancing drugs were capable to enhance performance in cyclists. As for the distributor of steroids Joseph Papp, he didn’t agree with this statement. He mentioned that intake of steroids was widespread in elite cycling. According to his words, a person can use testosterone gels in a clever way without being detected by anti-doping programs: users of transdermal testosterone should take in consideration time of detection.
Alexandre Dougnier was not cautious and didn’t attempt to avoid detection. He probably didn’t suppose that cyclists would be tested for forbidden drugs at the race in Aubervilliers.
