Tour de France Drug Abuse

The problem of drug use between athletes, which was previously thought to be a fairly primitive sport by the unconscious masses, allows it to influence all future trips and censor them with athletes So it is very important. First of all, before the scandal occurred in Europe until 1998, cycling was regarded as a non-toxic sport with a few exceptions. The 1998 drug scandal hurt the reputation and image of Tour de France and other sports. The response of the media to the scandal took a different position on the measures that should be taken to clean the bicycle.

Since the abuse of amphetamine caused Simpson 's death in Tour de France, cyclist stimulants have appeared since 1967. Cyclist 's drug abuse continues In the summer of 1998, the Festina cycling team was eliminated in Tour de France after the French authorities found EPO in their massage cars. As a result of the investigation, six of the nine drivers of Festina admitted that he had abused the drug. Later, the leader also failed for anabolic steroid hormone drug test. Also in 2002, Stefano Garzelli, leader of the Vini Caldirola Team, failed drug testing of the diuretic probenecid used as a masking agent. Also, in the same year as Tour de France, the Spanish cyclist, Igor Gonzalez deg Gaardiano, showed positive for antiasthmatic drug tests. In January 2004, two cyclists from the Cofidis team, one of the top teams in France, were arrested as drug users of EPO and amphetamine.

It is not news that athletes use medication to improve performance. Anabolic steroid hormones and stimulants have plagued the Olympic Games for decades. Professional bicycles - their key activities - including Tool de France - were almost collapsed by reports of widespread drug use. Lance Armstrong who won seven times in Tour de France was deceived and bullied. Other people do not understand well. They raised various objections. Some athletes claim that athletes who have fans who prefer home runs, anabolic steroid hormones or other medicine athletes hit more home runs will give only what they want. Of course, fans of the Coliseum may prefer to see the lion strike weapons from Christians and gladiators, attack each other and die. Therefore, "Fans are enthusiastic" is not a morally strong defense.
