USADA bans masters track cycling champion for contaminated supplement

The US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced on Friday it has banned the 2021 Masters National Champion Brian Abers for one year after he tested positive for a drug that has not yet been approved for use in the country.

The 56-year-old won the kilometre time trial on September 16, 2021, at the USA Cycling Masters Track National Championships in the 55-59 age group and submitted to an anti-doping control after the race. The sample came back positive for ibutamoren, also known as MK-622.
