Andrew Hastings's team 'hugely disappointed' over doping positive

Richardsons-Trek cycling team issues statement in wake of Andrew Hastings's four-year ban for a failed anti-doping test

Richardsons-Trek, the cycling team of Andrew Hastings, issued a statement on Thursday evening confirming that they feel "hugely disappointed" and "let down" by his positive dope test, which was announced today by UK Anti-Doping.

The British Masters champion has been handed a four-year ban by UKAD for taking anabolic steroids. The positive test for metenolone and stanozolol was returned from a sample taken at the team time trial championships on May 30, the day before he took the British Masters title (age 35-39).

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
