Although you probably never heard about Scott Mercier, his affirmations linked with usage of steroids and other related drugs in professional cyclist spread very quickly. This sportsman belonged to the US Postal Cycling team prior to Lance Armstrong’s arrival. Some statements of Scott Mercier discovered the truth that was hidden in cycling.
In fact, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) made incorrect conclusions linked with role of Lance Armstrong in doping. The famous American cyclist was accused and found guilty of intake of forbidden preparations throughout his cycling career. While it may be true, the USADA affirmed that Lance Armstrong induced doping in professional cycling. But these statements turned out to be wrong. Why? Which words were said by Scott Mercier?
Scott Mercier claimed that their team doctor Pedro Celaya had a special program for the US Postal Cycling team. He discussed about the program with every cyclist. The doctor said that they had to ride 200-250 km each day. Moreover, the doctor organized doping program that had to accompany trainings. Thus, he supplied US Postal Cycling team’s athletes with steroids, EPO and several other preparations.
These recommendations were offered by Pedro Celaya, when Lance Armstrong didn’t ride professionally. This sportsman experienced testicular cancer that time. There was no any doubt that this person would not be able to ride professionally. His cancer spread on other parts of his body, including brain. After this man experienced chemotherapy he got recovery. So, Lance Armstrong didn’t have any relation to the team. He didn’t promote taking doping products in professional cycling. It became obvious that doping was organized by Pedro Celaya before Lance Armstrong’s arrival.
During 1990s professional riders administered Andriol. Then they administered testosterone patches. Under guidelines of Pedro Celaya riders used the method of overdosing in order to avoid detection by anti-doping officers.
