A 90-year-old cyclist was stripped of his world record after failing a drug test for steroids, but it’s not exactly another instance of cycling being the world’s dirtiest sport.
Carl Grove, of Bristol, Indiana, won the 2-km individual pursuit sprint at the Masters National Championship in July with a time blazing time of 3:06.129, good enough not only to win the 90–94 age group but also set a world record. He was only roughly seven seconds slower than the guy who won the 75–79 age group.
But the record was wiped out after Grove failed a drug test for epitrenbolone, a metabolite of trenbolone, an anabolic steroid.
