If you have literally never raced, nor had any formal anti-doping training, surely there should be some grounds for a slight reduction based on the ignorance that you were (as a BCF member) liable for testing.

Of course, USADA and Tygart answer to nobody. So, exactly how many of these TUEs and special exceptions have they ever allowed? I bet it is ZERO!!!
Tygart isn't fit to wash my car, nonetheless run USADA and be involved with and work along USA Cycling.
They finally made a slight acknowledgement that Florida's Clean Ride program that was started a few years back was the inspiration for additional fees, and more testing.
But whatever, who cares about a bunch of amateurs doping. The top talented riders and up and coming young riders will still win and rise to the ranks and pro levels. That is just how it is. Especially Testosterone use by people. Everybody thinks it is some miracle drug that will make you a Pro Cat 1/2 racer in a month after a few injections. Ridiculous.
Let's put our time and effort into the Pro, top finishers for testing. Not some guy who barely finishes with the group.
USADA announced today that Tim Root, of Boise, Idaho, an athlete in the sport of cycling, has received a four-year sanction for refusing to provide a urine sample to a doping control officer. Root was selected to submit a sample as a result of being among the top finishers in his event at the 2016 Anderson Banducci Twilight Criterium in Boise, Idaho.

Root, 49, refused to provide a sample upon being selected by a doping control officer during an in-competition test on July 16, 2016.

I tweeted about this, but haven't gotten confirmation of the positive or what it was for. Waiting to hear from a few journalist friends who've made inquiries, too.

There are a lot of banned substances we need to be mindful of. I know this, and I am fully aware of the rules and I respect them. However, I took a supplement the night before the 2017 Dana Point Grand Prix for personal reasons and not a PED to boost my performance on the bike in any way what so ever. I was unaware of its true ingredients and It came back positive for a banned substance.
The US Anti-Doping Agency today announced that Kayle Leogrande has been banned for eight years after testing positive for seven different banned substances in a doping control taken at this year's Dana Point Grand Prix.
Leogrande, 40, was found positive for the anti-estrogen drug raloxifene, four Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (ostarine, RAD140, LGD4033 and andarine), ibutamoren (a growth hormone-like factor), and GW1516 sulfone (the 'exercise in a pill' drug).
