Identifying cases of doping is not an easy task and is subject to discretion if required by their respective international federations, some do not advertise doping cases in their discipline. Cycling, in contrast, reveals each positive test. Our numbers are therefore based on proven cases in 2014, according to official communications federations and anti-doping agencies, etc..
In 2014, athletics was the sport most affected by positive tests (95), ahead of baseball (62). As at 15 March 2015, these two sports are at the front again with 11 positive tests for baseball and 10 for athletics. After two-and-a-half months, cycling, 4th most affected sport in 2014, is behind baseball, athletics, football and rugby, on equal terms with golf and boxing.
MPCC counting includes:
– Road cycling: two cases identified for this most publicised discipline.
– Track cycling: no case
– Mountain bike: no case
Each time a team member of MPCC has been concerned by a case, the MPCC regulations were followed to the letter : suspension, dismissal.
