Kathy Jager, a celebrated sportsperson, tested positive for anabolic steroids at the 2011 USA National Masters Outdoor Track And Field Championships in Berea. That’s why she was excluded from participation in competitions. Kathy Jager can’t compete till the age of 70. This is the establishment of the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
Kathy Jager used steroids because these drugs were recommended by the doctor to improve her hormone balance. According to the establishments of World Anti-Doping Agency, sportsmen may utilize steroids for medical purposes and participate in competitions, if they receive a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). But Kathy Jager did not receive a TUE which could allow her to apply these preparations without being excluded from competitions.
It is necessary to notice that this famous person doesn’t treat intake of anabolic steroids seriously.
She tested positive for methyltestosterone at the 1999 World Association of Veteran Athletes World Championships in Gateshead (Great Britain) after she had broken world records in running of 100 meters. That competition was between athletes of 55-59 years old. It was the first time she was banned for intake of banned substances. Now it was her second time.
As it was found out, this sportsperson took EstraTest HS that contained esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone in a single tablet.
She noted that she had utilized EstraTest for medical needs. But the World Masters Association didn’t believe and banned her from competitions.
The case related to Kathy Jager caused many debates. Several people condemned her for application of banned medicines, others justified her.
When she was banned the first time, she administrated steroids in order to escape from menopausal troubles. The preparations were recommended by her healthcare provider. Then she ceased administrating prescribed products and began to use herbal preparations.
So, this sportswoman can’t participate in competitions till the age of 70 years old. If she had received a TUE, she could compete. But nobody knows whether the World Anti-Doping Agency will give her a TUE or not.
