USAC announces a new anti-doping program

For those cyclist out there who live for the next race, the USA Cycling has announced "RaceClean" -- an innovative anti-doping program designed to increase the frequency and effectiveness of in-competition and out-of-competition testing at all levels of competitive cycling in the United States.

The New York State Bicycle Racing Association (NYSBRA) played an integral part in getting this program up and running and has established a dedicated fund to help support the program. Capital Bicycle Racing Club (CBRC) has donated $500.00 to this fund.

The announcement and details of the program can be found here... http://www.usacycling.org/usa-cycling-announces-raceclean-program.htm

Education is an important part of this program. Educate yourself, become familiar with the substances that are prohibited and learn how to maintain a healthy lifestyle while at the same time maximize your performance on the bike.
