Community Question: What first drew you to pro cycling?
Yes (of coursepastronef said:
). One that springs to mind is quite recently a famous South African mtber caught for epo. Evans.Was discussed in the S.A. racing scene thread.
I think there is also a mtb doping thread where you'll find more cases.
I'm not sure but I think Ryder hesjedal has also admitted to doping during his mtb career.
Ryder. Didn't Rasmussen start doping while riding MTB?sniper said:Yes (of coursepastronef said:

Re:
In the case of Montano, USADA thorougly reviewed his medical file and concluded the clen was probably due to tainted meat, which is common in Mexico. So they did not "tolerate" a positive clen finding but exonerated him. That is what the system is designed to do, give the athlete an opportunity to prove there was no intent to cheat!

"It has been decided that she was the victim of third-party contamination after having sex with her boyfriend.
Ligandrol was found in the supplements he was using."
Apparently they provided a hair sample from him to further prove their case.

I assume the 8 years is because of a previous violation, the evidence he has been protected, and the flamboyant way in which he refused to be tested. Because 8 years is a lot for just missing a test. It effectively ends his career, unless he pulls a Dara Torres.

Yes, it's his 2nd ban. A bit surprising that it's not backdated and that he keeps is result. Horton must be happy, he never had a problem winning a medal in the relay with a convicted doper on his team, but that was an Aussie mate and not an evil doper from China or Russia. I actually respect the Italians Detti and Paltrinieri for calling out Horton and having a more neutral stance on Sun Yang.
That said, he deserves to get banned and doesn't seem to be a great guy, to say the least.

WADA treats tampering with a sample more severely than a positive test - Yang will still be popular in China and the endorsements will continue - Horton was going to have a pool named after him at his old school, until the Yang podium incident - A correct decision from the school.

Hmm, long-contested doping violation by trainer of triple-crown winner thrown dismissed in closed-door meeting:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/06/sports/horse-racing/baffert-drug-test-charlatan-gamine.html?referringSource=articleShare
“The board ruled that Justify’s positive test for the banned drug scopolamine had been the result of “environmental contamination,” not intentional doping. Baffert has denied any wrongdoing, but the quantity of the drug found in Justify suggested that it was present not because of contamination in his feed or his bedding but rather because of an effort to enhance performance, according to Dr. Rick Sams, who ran the drug lab for the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission from 2011 to 2018.”
Maybe it was the steak ...

Slightly amusing:
UFC fighter gets released
USADA tests him
UFC notifies fighter that he's released
USADA catches him (again) and sanctions him for 2 years
UFC notifies USADA that he's no longer in the testing pool.
cheating fighter is upset that failed test and UFC only suspension makes him look bad when he's trying to get another MMA contract elsewhere
not funny that this was a waste of time and resources
conspiracy wise i don't think the UFC intentionally screwed him more than usual
