It is too sad but it must be admitted that it looks like the professional sport is not so competitions between sportmen as competition between pharmacological preparations today. Doping is really serious problem among sportmen and since the creation of the World Anti-Doping Agency at the European Championships in 1999 more and more athletes are being caught in using steroids, amphetamines, stimulants or cannabinoids. Here is only very short list of some of them.
Ben Johnson have been take "stanozolol" and disqualified. 1993.
Diego Maradona. was tested positive in a drugs test for ephedrine doping. 1994.
Javier Sotomayor, claimed his positive test for cocaine. 1999.
Former Olympic hurdles champion Ludmila Engquist had disappeared after getting positive results from a doping test on Lillehammer's Olympic bobsled track. 2002.
Marco Pantani was one of the best climbers of all times in professional road bicycle racing. His career was dogged by drug allegations in the 1999 Giro de Italia. Then he died of a cocaine overdose in 2004.
It has brought and will bring yet a lot of disappointment and broken lives.
Is there the choise, victory or life?
