Katie Compton has accepted a four-year ban after testing positive for a banned anabolic agent, USADA has announced.
According to USADA, Compton tested positive for an anabolic agent during an out-of-competition test administered on September 16, 2020. The test was analyzed using a Carbon Isotope Ratio test, the release said, which can differentiate anabolic androgenic stories naturally produced by the body from banned steroids of external origin.
Compton, 42, is the winningest rider in the history of the U.S. elite cyclocross national championships, with 15 national titles to her name. She won the race every year from 2004 through 2018, and in 2019 she lost her crown to Clara Honsinger.
Compton is also winner of four silver medals at the UCI world cyclocross championships, as well as multiple World Cup wins.
Compton’s period of ineligibility starts on September 16, 2020, the date that her sample was collected. She has also been disqualified from all results after September 16, 2020, which includes her third-place at the Grand Prix of Nommay race.

She’s not that stupid. Tainted supplements. Too bad.
