Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle have published a book about usage of EPO and anabolic steroids. Guidelines described in the book can serve as a proof that the 7-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong used banned substances. The book has been entitled following: “The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France: Doping, Cover-ups, and Winning at all Costs”. The book contains tips linked with application of EPO and steroids in cycling and methods to avoid detection. It manifests that drug testing is inefficient in this sport.
Tyler Hamilton notes that sportspeople can take steroids without being detected. The author claims that the WADA doesn’t have any possibility to win. Hamilton describes weakness of the WADA in testing sportspersons for forbidden drugs.
According to Hamilton, it is easy to avoid detection while applying EPO. It is necessary to utilize the procedure “microdosing”. What does it really represent? Sportspeople should not inject 2,000 Units of EPO under the skin every 3-4 days. They must introduce 400-500 Units of EPO every 3rd or 4th night into veins. This method is named “microdosing”. Applying this way of administration, athletes can avoid detection without any essential effort.
Since microdosing is an appropriate way to avoid detection while administering EPO, this way must be suitable in case of steroid use as well. Thus, Tyler Hamilton supposes that cyclists and other sportspersons can avoid detection while administering anabolic steroids. He presents tips connected with this issue in details in the book. Hamilton describes how it is possible to hit drug testing of anti-doping system.
Actually, it is unlikely that tips presented in Tyler’s book will change essence of cycling. While introduction of the biological passport by anti-doping agencies can’t stop doping, introduction of microdosing into application of EPO doesn’t represent the new beginning of doping in cycling. Instructions of Hamilton may alter just the nature of doping in this sport. Administration of doping products is a part of cycling. Let notice the truth. Like there is no Santa Claus, there is no clean sport at the high level.
