Violation of athletes’ rights by anti-doping agencies

Lawmakers of California state that anti-doping agencies violate fundamental constitutional rights of athletes suspected of steroid use. So, sportspersons that have never tested positive for any prohibited drugs are targeted. That’s why the legislators presented a request to Congress to review this issue.
It is known that the USADA is sponsored mainly by taxpayers. The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) gives 10 million dollars each year. This governmental office induces fighting against application of prohibited preparations. Its goal is to exterminate illegal manufacture and drug use, crimes linked with intake of illegal products, etc.
The request of California legislators was initiated soon after Lance Armstrong decided not to appeal his lifetime ban from professional sports.
Everyone knows that the celebrated cyclist Lance Armstrong has lost his 7 titles obtained at Tour de France. He was also banned from competitions wholly.
In June Lance Armstrong filed a lawsuit against the USADA, affirming that his constitutional rights were violated. But the judge Sam Sparks didn’t desire to accept the lawsuit. He said that the USADA acted properly. Sam Sparks also noticed that the USADA was established in order to clean sports from those that use forbidden medicines.
California Senator Michael Rubio noted that Sam Sparks didn’t act properly, refusing to accept the lawsuit against the USADA. So, the senators stated that the USADA violated rights of certain sportspersons. That’s why they presented the request before Congress.
