The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) announced on Thursday that William Goodfellow has received a two-year sanction for an anti-doping rule violation.

Goodfellow, who rode for the Continental team Silber Pro Cycling this year tested positive for Clenbuterol and Darbepoetin in a urine sample taken on August 24, 2014.

Goodfellow has waived his hearing and has accepted his ban, which ends on the same date as the positive test in 2016.

He will be un able to train with teammates or take part in any events that cooperates with the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP).

Cycling Canada was disappointed with the news of the 26 year olds test and President of Cycling Canada released the following statement.

"We have always said, and will continue to say, that cheating to achieve performances is not and will never be tolerated. We unequivocally advocate for a clean approach to victory for all cyclists in Canada. We have been collaborating diligently with the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) on all fronts, and we will relentlessly continue to do so as we promote a drug-free sport," Tolkamp said.

Silber Pro Cycling released a statement that said they were both disappointed and saddened to learn of the positive test results by one of their former riders. "A rider's use of banned substances contradicts Silber Pro Cycling's adamant anti-doping stance, betrays his fellow racers, and undermines the values of fair competition."
