Doping in cycling

Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle have written a book about application of EPO and anabolic steroids. Tips given in the book can prove that Lance Armstrong administered prohibited products. 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 instructions connected with administration of EPO and steroids in cycling and methods to avoid detection. It shows that drug testing is ineffective in this sport.
Tyler Hamilton claims that sportspersons can apply steroids without being detected. The author notices that the WADA doesn’t have any possibility to win. Tyler Hamilton indicates weakness of the WADA in testing sportspersons for banned medications.
According to Hamilton, it is not difficult to avoid detection while taking EPO. It is necessary to utilize the procedure “microdosing”. What does it actually represent? Sportspersons should not inject 2,000 Units of EPO subcutaneously every 3-4 days. They should introduce 400-500 Units of EPO each 3-4 nights into veins. This method is called “microdosing”. Applying this way of administration, sportpersons can avoid detection without any great effort.
Since microdosing is a suitable way to avoid detection while using EPO, this method must be appropriate in case of steroid use as well. Thus, Tyler Hamilton suggests that cyclists and other sportspersons can avoid detection while taking anabolic steroids. He presents guidelines connected with this issue in details in the book.  The author describes how it is possible to hit drug testing of anti-doping agencies.
Actually, it is unlikely that guidelines provided in Tyler’s book will alter essence of cycling. While elaboration 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. Tips of Hamilton may modify only the nature of doping in this sport. Application of performance-enhancing drugs is a part of cycling. Let notice the truth. Like Santa Claus doesn’t exist at the high level.
