Jacques Anquetil claimed that each cycle doped

Intake of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs is widespread among amateur as well as professional sportspersons. It isn’t surprisingly, if athletes test positive for prohibited products. But there are certain unusual cases, when an individual tests positive for many prohibited medications. Here is a case.
Alexandre Dougnier, a teenage amateur French cyclist tested positive for more than 10 banned preparations, including more than 5 steroid metabolites. It was at a race in France in May, 2011. He has received 3-year ban from competitions.
It was determined that this person had taken such steroids, as Anavar, Dianabol and Winstrol. Other steroid metabolites that were discovered in his urine sample included 3-Hydroxystanozolol, 16b-Hydroxystanozolol, 4b-Hydroxystanozolol, Oxandrolone, epi-Oxandrolone, 6b-Hydroxymethandienone and 17-epi-Methandienone.
Alexandre Dougnier was a member of the Parisian Athletic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt. Certain persons notice that this amateur cyclist might have been a follower of the club’s doper Jacques Anquetil. This person has been considered to be a celebrated individual of cycling’s history. Jacques Anquetil was a member of the club de Boulogne-Billancourt in 1950s and 1960s. He was the first cyclist who had won the Tour de France 5 times. This person had received also 2 Olympic medals.
Jacques Anquetil used steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. Moreover, this cyclist defended doping during a TV debate with the French sports minister. He noticed that it was not possible to endure cold, heat waves and rain in mountains during cycling without doping. Jacques Anquetil confirmed that only a fool person would endure this agony related to the extreme sport of cycling without doping. This famous cyclist added that drug testing might deprive personal liberty. Jacques Anquetil concluded that everyone doped.
It is necessary to know steroids were not so widespread among cyclists in 1950s and 1960s. Usage of more dangerous amphetamines was more widespread during those years. As for administration of anabolic steroids, it has become more widespread during past two decades.
Let mention which affirmations have been said about steroids, when other cyclists have used them. When Floyd Landis was caught applying testosterone, it was confirmed by his legal team that neither anabolic steroids, nor other performance-enhancing drugs were able to increase performance in cyclists. As for the distributor of steroids Joseph Papp, he didn’t agree with this affirmation. He mentioned that usage of steroids was widespread in elite cycling. According to his words, a person may take testosterone gels in a clever way without being detected by anti-doping programs: users of transdermal testosterone should take in consideration time of detection.
Alexandre Dougnier wasn’t careful and didn’t put efforts to avoid detection. He probably didn’t suggest that cyclists would be tested for prohibited medicines at the race in Aubervilliers.
