Lance Armstrong Doping
I would like to present a recent big case of doping. It’s about Lance Armstrong, who won the Tour de Frqnce seven times. But at the end of August of this years, something terrible happend to him, he was expunged for life from cycling… and also losed al his victories since 1998. The USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) talk about "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen". And recently, the 2th of November, the WADA accepts the evidences that put Lance Armstrong in a big cheater position.
Indeed, the USADA report explains thanks to a lot of testimonies that it was a well-performing organization. The complete team of US Post worked for cheat and the doping products were numerous:
EPO: The EPO was delivered ready to use (in syringes) by an employee of US Post to the team coach (Pepe Marti) and quickly thrown away after use. Armstrong used it between 1998 and 2005 and also gave it to the others riders.
Testosterone: Actually, it was a mix between testosterone and olive oil (between 1999 and 2001). From 2001, they use testosterone patch
Bloodtransfusion: Armstrong was owner of transfusion material in his home and used it from 2000 to 2005 (testimonies).
He took also Corticosteroids and Human Growth Hormone.
To take less risks, he preferred to consume products that were less detectable like testosterone patch or EPO intravenous injection (instead of subcutaneous injection) and for hide all of this, he used saline infusions. This substance is also forbidden like a masking
