I don't know if there is enough information to assess properly, but it does seem as if the "success" rate of doping control in US masters racing is high compared with the typical rate of less than 0.5% of all tests. I wouldn't be surprised if it were at least 10 times higher.

Presumably that's a combination of any or all of:
- more doping
- more doping at that level relative to other
- better targeting of doping controls
- better intelligence / leads
- more dopes (failing the IQ test)

It's very, very high relative to the WT. IMO, half of that is attributed to the UCI managing doping controversy and the other half is most of the athletes made enough money to put up a good defense if a weakness can be found.

Go back to another Master's sanction from SoCal who put up a very hard fight to minimize his "failed the IQ test" sanction and delayed the inevitable announcement some 6 months. I don't have a name for you at the moment.

Sounds like the guy that had both supporters and detractors early in this thread.
 
Have watched several US National Masters Championship Track sessions and notice one major difference from previous versions: almost no riders from SoCal. None of the Chemistry Experiment sprinters and pursuit specialists are visible. Maybe later? Riders look normal.

I don't have my Hog eyeballs peeled nor calibrated for the event, but I generally agree with you.

The French rider produced a positive test for anabolic androgenic steroids in a sample collected on August 31, 2014, the same day as the championship race held in Ljubljana, Slovenia


* French rider.
* On the day of competition - talk about poor cycle management.

Oh god, here we go again. Robert Andre Massot, the 55-59 road race world "champion" has been caught using anabolic androgenic steroids:

I love the way it was neatly tucked away here: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/news-shorts-wiggle-honda-riders-successful-in-road-and-track - it's a world champ, for f's sake!

Yeah, that was cute of CN, burying it like that. This story deserves a bit more traction.

He was probably shocked that there was even any testing.

At the 2013 WMG, there was a distinct lack of testing for cycling. Women's soccer, though, had lots of interest.

A cynical view would be that they were targeting sports where positives weren't expected.

I guess it's reinforcement of the IQ test being failed - I cannot imagine going into any competition hot. Particularly a WMG worlds. I thought they tested them pretty consistently?
 
Agree on concern about pro/elite ranks.

Besides, what makes them think the same anti doping strategy (e.g. race day testing) will magically work with amateurs given we are talking about a number of competitors many orders of magnitude greater than in the elite/pro ranks? Just broadens the scope of IQ testing.
 
http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/british-masters-champion-andy-hastings-given-four-year-doping-ban-203379

British Masters Road Race Champion Andy Hastings has been given a four-year ban by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) after testing positive earlier this year.

Hastings tested positive for anabolic steriods Metenolone and Stanozolol at the National Team Time Trial Championships, organised by the High Wycombe Cycling Club on behalf of Cycling Time Trials (CTT), on May 30. The following day, he won the British Cycling Masters title in the 35 to 39 age group.

Although details of his ban were only released on Thursday, Hastings’s ban has been backdated to begin on May 30, 2015.
 
UKAD report on Hasting case:

Claims inadvertent use from a pre-used syringe from a mate, and it was possibly contaminated with prohibited substance.
 
Another one, age group triathlete this time:

Danish age group athlete Thomas Lawaetz tested positive for EPO at the 2015 KMD IRONMAN Copenhagen and has received a 48-month sanction according to a press release by WTC. The release further stated that Mr. Lawaetz’s results from that competition were disqualified and he was declared ineligible to compete at the 2015 IRONMAN World Championship

Link not working for me.

But WTF with that excuse?

The increased age group testing that was noticed around the globe this year appears to be bearing fruit. :)

So... He still broke the no-needle policy and would have got the same ban anyway? Or that doesn't apply below pro ranks?

I am not sure at what level the no needle policy comes into effect and in which sports.
Would be interested if anyone has an idea.

I was wondering the same. The only thing I could find on the UCI site was the info below. The majority of it, however, seems contradictory at best. :confused:
http://www.uci.ch/clean-sport/therapeutic-use-exemptions/

The last part seems to be relevant, and comfortably rather broad in its scope.

5. Particular information with regard to Glucocorticoids, Beta-2 Agonists against Asthma and Injections (“No Needle Policy”)

A. Glucocorticoids

Authorized Routes of Administration

The following routes of administration (i.e. how the medication is administered or taken) are authorized and hence do not require a TUE for the use of glucocorticoids :

• Dermatological – on the skin;
• Auricular - in or on the ear;
• Buccal – inside the mouth (without swallowing);
• Gingival - on the gums;
• Nasal - inside the nose, either by topical application or nasal spray;
• Ophthalmic – on or in the eye;
• Perianal – on or around the anus;
• Inhalation – through the mouth via an inhaler or “puffer”;
• Intradermal injection – into the skin;
• Epidural injection – into the spine;
• Intra-articular injection – into a joint capsule;
• Periarticular injection – around a joint;
• Peritendinous injection – around a tendon.



Prohibited Routes of Administration - systemic administration

You must complete a full TUE application before taking glucocorticoids by any of the following systemic routes:
• Orally – through the mouth, usually in the form of pills or tablets or syrup or drops;
• Intravenous injection – injection into a vein;
• Intramuscular injection – injection into a muscle;
• Rectally – into the rectum usually in the form of a suppository or rectal application of a cream.

Local injection of glucocorticoids - “8-days rest period”

In case of a local injection of glucocorticoids, which is subject also to the Anti-Doping Rules and the Prohibited List, the rider must rest and is prevented from competing for 8 days (article 13.3.055 of the UCI Cycling Regulations).

B. Beta-2 Agonists for Asthma

Whether or not you need to apply for a TUE before using a beta-2 agonists for the treatment of asthma depends on the medication. Please pay utmost attention to the substance which is included in your inhaler.

Salmeterol /Salbutamol/Formoterol

Inhaled salbutamol (maximum 1600 micrograms over 24 hours), inhaled formoterol (maximum 54 micrograms over 24 hours) and inhaled salmeterol in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommended therapeutic regimen are not prohibited and therefore do not require a TUE.

You must obtain a TUE only if you need to inhale more than 1600 μg per day of salbutamol.
You must obtain a TUE only if you need to inhale more than 54 μg per day of formoterol.
You must obtain a TUE if you take salmeterol, salbutamol and/or formoterol by any other routes of administration.

Terbutaline or other Beta-2 Agonist

If you take terbutaline or any other beta-2 agonist for the treatment of asthma, you must submit a TUE request for asthma and your full medical file through ADAMS to confirm the diagnosis of asthma and/or its clinical variants.
The medical file should include:
- A detailed medical history and clinical review;
- Lung function test with spirometry;
- Bronchodilator response;
- Bronchial provocation tests.

To assist your doctor in completing the correct tests, and providing the correct medical information, we suggest that he or she consults the WADA Guidelines on Asthma.

C. Injections – “No Needle” Policy

We remind you that the use of injections to administer drugs or substances without a clear and recognized medical indication is prohibited. This applies to any substance that is injected whether endogenous or exogenous, prohibited under the UCI Anti-Doping Rules (ADR) or not, and to any type of injection (article 13.3.052 of the UCI Cycling Regulations).
