Tyler Hamilton’s tips serve as proof that Lance Armstrong has used doping products


Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle have written a book about application of EPO and anabolic steroids. Recommendations described in the book can serve as a proof that the 7-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong applied 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 intake of EPO and steroids in cycling and methods to avoid detection. It demonstrates that drug testing is inefficient in this sport.
Tyler Hamilton affirms that sportspersons can use steroids without being caught. The author notes that the WADA doesn’t have any possibility to win. Hamilton indicates weakness of the WADA in testing athletes for prohibited substances.
According to Tyler Hamilton, it is easy to avoid detection while applying EPO. It is necessary to apply the procedure “microdosing”. What does it actually mean? Athletes should not introduce 2,000 Units of EPO under the skin every 3-4 days. They should introduce 400-500 Units of EPO every 3-4 nights intravenously. This method is named “microdosing”. Using this way of intake, sportpersons can avoid detection without any trouble.
Since microdosing is a suitable method to avoid detection while using EPO, this method must be suitable in case of steroid use as well. Thus, Tyler Hamilton supposes that cyclists and other athletes can avoid detection while applying anabolic steroids. He presents recommendations on this issue in details in the book.  Hamilton 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 introduction of the biological passport by anti-doping agencies can’t stop doping, introduction of microdosing into intake of EPO is not the new beginning of doping in cycling. Recommendations of Hamilton may change just the nature of doping in this sport. Application of performance-enhancing drugs is a part of cycling. Let see the truth. Like clean sport doesn’t exist at the high level.
