Published: Nov. 20, 2007

Jared Bunde, a 31-year-old member of the GS Mengoni Cycling team, accepteda two-year doping ban by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) on Tuesday after testing positive for the banned substance clomiphene.

Bunde, a member of the GS Mengoni Cycling team, tested positive July 28 at the International Cycling Classic in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His two-year ban began October 15, the day he accepted a provisional suspension.

As a result of testing positive for the anti-estrogenic drug, Bunde forfeits all results since July 28, including his win in the Masters National Track Championship, Points Race August 28 at Trexlertown, Pennsylvania.

Also wiped out was Bunde's sixth-place overall finish and third-place points effort at the Vuelta a Nicaragua, which included a victory in stage five on September 8.
