Re:
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.

Hmm, so we can't embed tweets w/ whatever this forum is built on?

From his FakeBook
Hello out there, I hope everyone is having an amazing Friday and feeling spritely awaiting the weekend. As cyclists, we have an agreement as racers, to be responsible for what we ingest and put in and on our bodies. 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.
I take 100% responsibility for my actions and choices. I accept the consequences for this and my disqualification, and
I am returning my winnings to the race promoters.
Having a past doping offense,
I acknowledge the impact and damage my actions caused my team, fellow cyclists, the race promoters and owners.
I feel badly about Losing their trust after all the time I spent building it up. I will miss all the fun I had racing with these great athletes and friends. I take the above actions in an effort to restore trust in me and my integrity as my word and for this sport I will always love.
I am in a happy place in my life and have lots to be grateful for! Most importantly, my children and my Fiancée! Cycling is and always will be a part of my life and lifestyle. Racing has been a major part of my life since I raced as a jr. At the age of 13. I hold my head high knowing I did my best as an athlete and I have the utmost respect for all I competed against.
"If there is anything you are incomplete about or need to say to me to be complete, please reach out to me directly" I am a reasonable human being, being approachable and have absolutely nothing to hide. Life is short, make it count and be happy

LeoGrande... seems to be some contradictions. Still lying at his confession of all things.
Today in CN;
I just can't even....

Clearly Leogrande is not your typical pro on a discreet program. I suspect being found positive for ... 7 ... substances is some kind of subliminal cry for help.
Interestingly a case like this is something of an argument for legalizing PEDs -- wouldn't it be better to supervise intake rather than just gobbling down/injecting/rubbing in anything you can get your hands on?

Re:
I'm pretty sure that there's never been and never will be a supplement that uses "GW1516" as a hidden ingredient.
Maybe I'm wrong, what do I know....
His continued lying about his "supplement" is what should have put him over the top for a lifetime ban.Catwhoorg said:

In this specific case, if this is an act of desperation then I would argue that legitimising and supervising his self-abuse would not be constructive to his long-term well-being.

USA NorCal rider busted for clomiphene. 6 months ban. Apparently he was using it as prescribed by his doc and "forgot" it would last in his system. There is no mention of why his doc was asking him to take it - strange drug.

Re:
The article mentions that the prescription was "completed", so it was probably for fertility. It's a common fertility drug for both men and women, although off label for men, and is generally only taken for short periods when that is the purpose.
