Eight-time U.S. road champion, two-time Foot Locker finalist and former U.S. 25k record holder Mo Trafeh’s four-year drug ban was formally announced today by USADA with the release of the ruling by the American Arbitration Association. (The ruling is here and embedded at the bottom of this article).
This summer, in an exclusive to LetsRun.com, Trafeh admitted he’d purchased EPO and announced his retirement from the sport. Trafeh denied to LetsRun.com that he actually used the EPO, but the AAA report shows that to be a lie, as he admitted to a USADA investigator that he used EPO from January 2012 onwards.

Trafeh never failed a drug test. In February of 2014, he was caught by Department of Homeland Security officers transporting into the U.S. syringes of what eventually was determined to be EPO. At the same time, he claimed on his drug testing whereabouts form to be in Morocco. Drug testers showed up five days later to drug test him in Morocco, and he claimed he was 630km away visiting his sick mother, which was a lie, as he was back in the United States.
1) Trafeh is a Cheat and a Liar
A lot of drug cheats claim when they are busted it was their first time using the drug. Trafeh took it one step further and told LetsRun.com that he never used the EPO he had purchased. Trafeh’s own words to USADA show that he was lying to LRC.

USADA announced today that Inika McPherson, of Houston, Texas, an athlete in the sport of track & field, has tested positive for a prohibited substance and accepted a twenty-one month sanction for her rule violation.
McPherson, 28, tested positive for benzoylecgonine as a result of an in-competition urine sample she provided on June 29, 2014, at the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships held in Sacramento, Calif. Benzoylecgonine is a metabolite of cocaine, a substance in the class of Stimulants prohibited under the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing and the International Association of Athletics Federations (“IAAF”) Anti-Doping Rules, both of which have adopted the World Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List.
After a thorough review of the case, USADA determined a twenty-one month sanction was appropriate upon concluding that the athlete did not intend to impermissibly enhance her athletic performance through the use of a prohibited stimulant.
