"Fuentes disputes positive" or How the USCF promotes doping...
Rumors have surrounded this guy for a while now. I personally do not
know him, but have ended up on the podium with him several times and honestly have no ill feelings toward him. I tended to chalk up the rumors to guys that were a little jealous of his results. In my naivety, I thought that "Local" guys just didn't dope. The bigger question I have after reading this is: Why the F@#$ is he being allowed to race after this positive test?!! Positive 4 months ago and still racing. What is to dispute? Is there anyway this could reasonably be a false positive? At Superweek he was flying and in hindsight taking $ out of clean riders pockets. What message does this send? I for one think the USCF should get its head out of the sand and start testing at as many NRC races as possible. ------------cut-------------- Fuentes disputes positive The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has announced that Californian Dave Fuentes is currently involved in the USADA adjudication process after returning a positive test for oxymetholone metabolites at the Redlands Classic on March 25, 2004. Fuentes is disputing the finding. Oxymetholone is a steroid also known under the trade name Anadrol, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of anemias caused by deficient red cell production. It has has been demonstrated to have significant toxic side effects on the liver. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?...ug04/aug04news |
