Manx Grand Prix competitor Alex Sinclair has received a positive result for the presence of the recreational drug identified in an initial screening.
Organisers of the races confirmed that the quantitative result of the confirmatory analysis is consistent with the misuse of a controlled drug.
Alex Sinclair, a competitor in the Junior, Classic Junior, and Classic Senior races was excluded with immediate effect from the 2024 MGP.
Positive Drug Test
This was following a ‘non-negative’ screening result in a random drugs test that was carried out as part of the event’s drug and alcohol screening protocols.
Organisers say that this is now with the Auto-Cycle Union, the national governing body for motorcycle sport in Great Britain (less Northern Ireland).
Sanctions for competitors caught doping can be a ban from ACU competitions for a minimum of two years.
As previously stated, the Manx Grand Prix Races and ACU share a strict zero-tolerance policy for the presence of drugs and alcohol for officials and competitors during an event period.
