Again a new Steroid case

Doping and steroid cases are very common in athletic and football. I have come across many stories of doping and taking steroids since my childhood. In football I heard for the first time in the Maradona’s case of taking steroids. Taking steroids helps the players to generate short term energy and stamina to the body. Now I heard a fresh case of steroid for the China’s top female triathlete, Wang Hongai. She has been banned for taking steroids for two years and with this she will miss the Beijing Olympics of 2008. It is unfortunate that she will miss the Olympic even if it is happening in her home ground.
She was formerly banned by the International Triathlon Union after becoming positive in the steroid test. This is the highest nation’s doping profile just after the Sun Yingjie who is the long distance runner. In both A and B samples Wang recorded positive for exogenous metabolites of testosterone. But the question is the banning of Wang will affect her team or mot? It is the personal problem of using steroid and not the problem of the team as a whole. It should impact on the personal career only and not to the team as a whole.
