Anyone get tested? Or hear about testing there?
I was tested on the climb after the gravel. Barely hung on.
Drug testing? No. They told us to check in after the RR at sign in. I did, asked if there was a list posted. I got a blank stare. "We don't have results yet". Huh?
Drug testing is supposed to be done immediately after the event. Results may show up hours after. OK. "Do I need to stay around?" That got another blank look. I left.
When we lined up for the crit they told us "no USADA".
That's helpful to know...
A Cat 5 on a one day license is supposed to adhere to a medical regimen that was designed for an Olympic athlete, while the testers are throwing out virtually every protocol used by the Olympic testers. The former is kinda ridiculous, the latter is inexcusable.
