有關你們對提升運動表現藥物的態度站時告一段落，現在同大家分享一則近來震騖世界體育界的消息。 Lance Armstrong is the most influential cyclist of the decade. He was a triathlete in his early years (at 16) and became a professional cyclist in 1992. 1996 - he was diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his brain and lungs 1997 - founded the Lance Armstrong Foundation for cancer support 1998 – returned to competitive cycling and signed contract with US Postal 1999-2005 - won the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times 2005-2009 – retired 2009 – returned to cycling and also helped found professional cycling team 2011 – Retired from professional cycling, facing a US federal investigation into doping allegation 2012 – Returned to triathlon, USADA charged him for doping
Amongst the charges are that Armstrong used EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, corticosteroids and masking agents and, potentially more seriously, that he distributed and administered drugs to others. Bruyneel has been charged with possession, trafficking and administration of banned substances, aiding, abetting and covering up anti-doping rule violations plus other aggravating circumstances
Armstrong – I have never doped … I have passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one
Life time ban and stripping of all titles since 1998
USADA alleges that Armstrong and five former cycling team associates — three doctors including Italian physician Michele Ferrari, one trainer and team manager Johan Bruyneel — engaged in a massive doping conspiracy from 1998 to 2007. Armstrong is the center of the doping programme. He distributed and administered drug to other riders.
Early in my professional career, it became clear to me that, given the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs by cyclists at the top of the profession, it was not possible to compete at the highest level without them. After being encouraged by the team, pressured to perform and pushed to my physical limits I crossed a line I promised myself and others I would not: I doped. It was a decision I deeply regret. It caused me sleepless nights, took the fun out of cycling and racing, and tainted the success I achieved at the time. This was not how I wanted to live or race. If you don’t take it, you won’t make it. (Anon) The win-at-all-cost culture. 個案反影，運動禁藥問題嚴重。
The main purpose of an anti-doping programme is to protect the clean athletes. Physical and mental health – not pressured to use drug Fair play – everyone is not using drugs Preserve the true spirit / values of sport
