October 30, 2013 (Ottawa, ON) – Like many Canadian cycling fans, we were shocked and saddened to learn that Ryder Hesjedal was involved in doping over a decade ago. To his credit, he has been open and honest with the anti-doping authorities that investigate such matters in a confidential fashion as we learned today through his statement and the subsequent statement of Travis Tygart, CEO of USADA.

We continue to urge any athletes that have information about doping in the sport to come forward to the CCES to help with the ongoing fight against doping.
