ACROSTIC POEM ABOUT ‘DRUGS IN CYCLING’

Doping and other forms of drugs have and still are destroying the

Reputation and integrity of cycling as a sport around the world. The

UCI which is the head of cycling is now having to admit to reports of

Gruelling information on cyclists that have taken performance enhancing drugs to win.

Steroids were the first preference in the early 1900’s performance enhancing and now

 

In modern day racing ‘EPO’ is the drug of choice to increase your red blood count. Huge

Numbers of cyclist have taken EPO to give them the upper hand to be on the podium.

 

Cheating is a part of human nature and there will always be people who have to. The

Younger generations of cyclists look up to the cyclist of today as role models of

Cycling today. Cycling needs to rebuild and put in place strategies to eliminate cheating.

Lance Armstrong was one of many big names in cycling to come forward about taking performance enhancing drugs.

Increasing testing, targeting certain cyclists and the biological passport are the things UCI is doing to

Neutralise drugs in cycling and repair cycling’s tarnished name. We also need to

Grow a better understanding on how to catch out cyclists and make it fair!
