US Cyclist Mock Hit With Cannabis Violation
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado, Dec 17, 2009 (AFP) – David Mock, a 32-year-old American cyclist, accepted a three-month doping ban after testing positive for a marijuana metabolite in August, the US Anti-Doping Agency announced Thursday.
Mock tested positive for the banned substance Carboxy THC, a cannabis class drug, in a urine sample taken August 15 after a sixth-place finish in the Yankee Clipper stage race.
The sanction could bring a two-year ban but Mock accepted a three-month period of ineligibility that began last Friday and was reduced to time served after his completion of a US Anti-Doping education program Wednesday.
Mock’s results in all events from August 15 through Wednesday were forfeited.
