Kathy Jager’s administration of steroids

Kathy Jager, a celebrated sportswoman, tested positive for anabolic steroids at the 2011 USA National Masters Outdoor Track And Field Championships in Berea. That’s why she was banned from participation in competitions. She can’t compete till the age of 70. This is the decision of the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
This well-known sportwoman took steroids because these drugs were recommended by the healthcare provider to improve her hormone balance. According to the rules of World Anti-Doping Agency, sportspersons can administrate steroids for medical purposes and compete, if they have a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). As for Kathy Jager, she did not have a TUE which could allow her to apply these medications without being excluded from competitions.
It is important to note that this famous person doesn’t treat administration 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 people that were from the age of 55 till 59. It was the first time she was banned for application of these medications. Now it was her second time.
As it is known, this popular sportswoman used EstraTest HS which contained esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone in a pill.
She confirmed that she had administrated EstraTest for medical purposes. But the World Masters Association didn’t believe and didn’t allow her to take part in competitions.
The case related to Kathy Jager caused numerous debates. Some people condemned her for intake of prohibited drugs, others defended her.
When this woman was banned the first time, she took steroids in order to avoid menopausal troubles. The medications were recommended by her doctor. Later she discontinued administrating recommended preparations and started to apply herbal preparations.
So, this athlete must not take part in competitions till the age of 70 years old. If she had received a TUE, she could compete. But nobody is sure whether the WADA will give her a TUE or not.
