The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced today that Juan Pablo
Dotti, of Duluth, Georgia, has tested positive for a prohibited substance and
has accepted a suspension for his doping violation.
The 27-year-old, a native of Argentina, tested positive for an anabolic agent
and amphetamine on June 12, 2011 in the final stage of the three-day Tulsa Tough
in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dotti, racing for the elite amateur Aerocat Cycling Team,
finished second on the Riverview Criterium stage and placed sixth overall.
Dotti accepted a two-year period of ineligibility, which began on August 13,
2011, the day he accepted his sanction. As a result of the sanction, Dotti is
also disqualified from all competitive results obtained on and subsequent to
June 12, 2011, the day the sample was collected, including forfeiture of any
medals, points, and prizes.
Dotti had raced professionally in 2007 and 2008 for the Cinelli-OPD team and won
stages in the Vuelta a Venezuela, Vuelta a Navarra, Clasico Banfoandes and
Vuelta del Uruguay. He had also represented Argentina at the road world
championships.
