So far this year, your RaceClean surcharges have funded 113 tests at the amateur level. That’s more than triple what we’d accomplished by this time last year and it’s only 22 tests away from our year-end goal which we’ll certainly exceed.
As a reminder, these tests funded by RaceClean target amateurs and make up only one part of the anti-doping testing here in the U.S. Race directors, trade teams, local associations, and the UCI also fund testing nationwide. USADA alone has funded 150 tests already this year at USA Cycling National Championship events (that is in addition to the 113 tests funded by RaceClean!) And we still have 5 months left this year!
