Lance Armstrong, left, during the Tour de France in 2004
Lance Armstrong, the famous bicyclist, finally came clean about using PEDs on an Oprah interview 9 months ago. He clearly takes responsibility for his actions on the interview and talks about the types of drugs he used. These include banned endurance boosters and popped testosterone pills. Armstrong is clearly in the fault but what about the doctors who acted as the “middle man” in this operation. According to Travis Tygart, the chief executive of the antidoping agency, Usada (United States Anti-Drug Agency) have not the named the name of the doctors prescribing these drugs because they are investigating the individuals who have taken these drugs not the people prescribing them. That was twelve months ago and there still have not been a case against the doctors who gave Armstrong these drugs. The drugs helped Armstrong will the Tour de France seven times. The drugs made the field unfair for the other competitors due to Armstrong’s advantage over them.
