The amateur cyclist and writer Andrew Tilin  received a 2-year ban. United States Anti-Doping Agency banned this person after he had admitted administrating steroids for legal hormone replacement therapy. The admitting was made by the rider in own book that will be soon probably released. The book is entitled following: “The Doper Next Door: My Strange and Scandalous Year on Performance-Enhancing Drugs” .
this book presents individual experiences of many persons who used drugs that have performance-enhancing effects.
Thus, Tilin took the steroid testosterone for hormone replacement therapy. It is quite clear.  In fact, it is not yet clear whether this person has mentioned about personal experience related also to other medicines that enhance performance.
Tilin tries to comprehend and describe in his book why persons dope. He notices the motivations of different persons. Do these drugs help really? These medicines are quite controversial; the explanations linked with these medicines are controversial as well. Since a lot of users do not like talking about their usage, many answers on questions about doping remain unopened.
