In early January I contacted an ant-doping agency regarding issues in Cyclocross and a comprised UCI member. "Katie was tested in September 2020 using the last ball bearing bottle aka the Beringer bottle which was taken out of use due the Icarus documentary on Russians swapping out urine samples which came back negative. Mark Legg, husband of Katie Compton who has acted as her mechanic throughout her career, posted the following statement on Facebook. Katie Compton's statementĬompton released an official response to the USADA suspension: The USADA statement did not list the specific anabolic agent in question. The list of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) published by USADA is substantial, and includes familiar names like testosterone.
What is an anabolic agent?Īnabolic agents are powerful performance-enhancing drugs.
Discrepancies in the biological passport program apparently prompted the follow-up testing. While USADA has not shared the specific details at this time, a urine sample was analyzed with a Carbon Isotope Ratio test, designed to differentiate between the anabolic androgenic steroids (which are produced naturally by the human body) and anabolic agents of external origin, which are, of course, prohibited. Per the USADA press release, Compton tested positive on a drug test conducted out of competition on September 16, 2020. A post shared by RideCX (pictured here at the 2019 USA Cycling cyclocross national championship) also had several near-misses at the World Cyclocross Championship, finishing second on four separate occasions.
