A popular sportswoman banned for administration of steroids

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 this athlete was banned from participation in competitions. Kathy Jager must not compete till the age of 70. This is the decision of the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
This woman utilized steroids because these preparations were prescribed by the doctor to stabilize her hormone balance. According to the rules of World Anti-Doping Agency, sportspersons can take steroids for medical purposes and take part in competitions, if they receive a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). But as it is known, Kathy Jager didn’t receive a TUE that could allow her to use these preparations without being forbidden from competitions.
It is necessary to notice that Kathy Jager doesn’t treat application of anabolic steroids seriously.
This athlete 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 people that were from the age of 55 till 59. It was the first time she was banned for administration of banned preparations. Now it was her second time.
As it is known, this sportsperson took EstraTest HS that contained esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone in a tablet.
She noted that she had used EstraTest for medical needs. But the World Masters Association didn’t believe and didn’t allow her to take part in competitions.
This case caused numerous debates. Several people condemned her for intake of prohibited drugs, others defended her.
When this sportswoman was banned the first time, she took steroids in order to avoid menopausal troubles. The preparations were prescribed by her physician. Then she ceased administrating recommended medications and began to apply herbal preparations.
So, Kathy Jager can’t participate in competitions till the age of 70 years old. If she had received a TUE, she could compete. But nobody is sure whether the World Anti-Doping Agency will give her a TUE or not.
