December 31, 2012

USADA announced today that Cyril Jay-Rayon of Los Angeles, Calif., an athlete in the sport of cycling, has tested positive for a prohibited substance and has accepted a sanction for his anti-doping rule violation.

Jay-Rayon, 46, provided a urine sample on September 30, 2012, during an in-competition test, at the 24 Hour Nationals in Colorado Springs, Colo., that resulted in an adverse analytical finding for the stimulant Modafinil. Modafinil is prohibited in-competition under the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing and the International Cycling Union (UCI) anti-doping rules, both of which have adopted the World Anti-Doping Code (“Code”) and the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List.

Jay-Rayon’s 18-month period of ineligibility began on October 23, 2012, the date he accepted a provisional suspension. As a result of his anti-doping rule violation, Jay-Rayon has been disqualified from all competitive results obtained on and subsequent to September 30, 2012, the date his sample was collected, including forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes.

If you’re new to the Colorado mountain bike scene or new to mountain biking, read further to get some information about races that you should set in your sights. The main events of these races are challenging enough to be your one-a-year type of goal, while the shorter versions offer less intimidating options to dip your feet into the racing waters. If you’ve been around the scene and haven’t heard the latest on the RME Series, read further as a reminder about your favorite races and provide some mid-winter stoke.

The Rocky Mountain Endurance Series, directed by Warriors Cycling, has become a staple on the Colorado mountain biking race calendar because of the quality courses, organized planning, information, and race days, and the great overall experience and atmosphere. Most of the current events are relatively new, as well as new to the series. Two of the 2013 planned races have been around for several years.

The Breckenridge 100 results date back to 2005. Because of the years it’s been around, the extreme nature of the race, and the difficulty, it’s maintained its role as the anchor of the series.
The Battle the Bear, which was known in previous years as the Front Range 50 and 60, is the second oldest race on the current 2013 schedule.
