Cycling Australia has issued Dr. Stephen Sabine a two year ban for a doping violation recorded at last year’s South Australian Criterium Championships, a State titles race in Australia. Dr. Sabine finished eighth out of as many riders in the event’s elite category, however an in-competition test conducted by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Agency returned a positive result.
The ASADA test found anabolic steroid testosterone and glucocorticosteriods present in the rider’s sample. Sabine admitted to using glucocorticosteriods and waived his right to a hearing while accepting the maximum two year ban, according to an ASADA release.
