United States Anti Doping Agency has suspended teenager McAben Prince from South Carolina after he returned a positive test for a prohibited anabolic substance as the result of an in-competition test in July. 

Prince, 19, who won the amateur Alabama Classic Sunny King Criterium on 3 July 2021, was tested for synthetic anabolic androgenic steroids at the race using a isotope ratio mass spectrometry, which is capable of detecting urinary steroids of synthetic origin.   

The test confirmed Prince used non-naturally produced Testosterone, which has powerful performance-enhancing capabilities for cyclists, including increased muscle mass, strength and endurance.  

Prince’s four-year suspension started 19 August 2021 and ends 19 August 2025.  In addition, Prince has been disqualified from all competitive results obtained on and subsequent to 3 July 2021.
