Yep: http://www.cape-epic.com/news/539/

Two South African mountain bikers are out of the Absa Cape Epic after failing anti-doping tests.

One of the riders has been provisionally suspended by the the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS) and in the meantime is not eligible to take part in any races sanctioned by the International Cycling Union (UCI) - including the Cape Epic. His case is currently being reviewed by SAIDS.

Howison's facebook says he's from SA, despite an article calling him a Briton. He did the 2014 Cape Epic.

That Howison bloke does not show up on the RTP for 2015, so more likely the Cape Epic as I am hypothesizing.

Is the Absa cape epic a UCI sanctioned event?

The Cape Epic actually has, imho, a pretty progressive AD policy that goes above and beyond WADA code standards

Zero Tolerance Policy

The Absa Cape Epic conforms to the World Anti-Doping Code as laid out by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and works with the UCI and the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS) to ensure the Code is properly implemented at the race and amongst cyclists in South Africa. Stringent and comprehensive doping control is conducted at the race by the UCI and SAIDS.

Any athlete (professional or amateur) sanctioned by their federation or national anti-doping authority (NADA) for use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) after 1 January 2013, whether at another event or out of competition, will be banned for life from participating in the Absa Cape Epic. Not only will the person not be allowed to participate (as an amateur rider or UCI- licensed elite), but the individual will also be banned from being involved on any level including as a team manager.

As is stipulated in the race rules, the organisers reserve the right to test all participants and therefore, per the WADA Code, the onus is on the athlete to check that any substances or methods used do not appear on WADA's current List of Prohibited Substances and Methods.

Interesting that Jeremy Hunt has exactly the same GBR19741203 code - so born on the same day in the same country.

Too bad the astrologer was wrong about their horoscope when they said, if today is your birthday it would be a good day to dope.
