Establishment of WADA related to the case of Kathy Jager

Kathy Jager, a well-known athlete, tested positive for anabolic steroids at the 2011 USA National Masters Outdoor Track And Field Championships in Berea. That’s why this athlete was banned from participation in competitions. She can’t compete till the age of 70. This decision was made by the United States Anti-Doping Agency.
This woman used steroids because these medicines were recommended by the doctor to improve her hormone balance. According to the establishments of World Anti-Doping Agency, athletes may use steroids for medical needs and take part in competitions, if they have a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). But as it is known, Kathy Jager didn’t have a TUE that could give her the authorization to apply these drugs without being banned from competitions.
It is important to observe that this famous person doesn’t treat intake of anabolic steroids seriously.
This famous sportswoman 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 intake of banned preparations. Now it was her second time.
As it was found out, this sportsperson took EstraTest HS which contained esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone in a tablet.
She said that she had taken EstraTest for medical purposes. But the World Masters Association didn’t believe and refused to allow her to compete.
The case related to Kathy Jager caused a lot of debates. Some people condemned her for application of steroids, others justified her.
When this woman was banned the first time, she applied steroids in order to prevent menopausal troubles. The medicines were prescribed by her doctor. Then she ceased taking recommended medicines and started to apply herbal preparations.
So, this sportswoman can’t take part in competitions till the age of 70 years old. If she had had a TUE, she could compete. But nobody knows whether the WADA will give her a TUE or not.
