Olympics
From Staff and Wire Reports
Jeff Evanshine, the reigning junior world road race champion, was suspended from competition for three months by the U.S. Cycling Federation for failing to appear for a random drug test.
The suspension, effective immediately, will keep the 18-year-old from Colorado Springs, Colo., from competing in Altoona, Pa., this week in the U.S. Cycling Olympic trials. He can appeal the suspension to the U.S. Olympic Committee through an independent arbitrator.
Last summer, Evanshine became the first U.S. male cyclist to win the junior world road title since Greg LeMond in 1979.
