I think Jeff's point is to put an end to PED's in the sport to protect the kids from drug use as the long term effects of these drugs are unknown also some kids don't know what they have signed up for as a full time job.
Is that rumor or very true?

I’m not taking anything away from RC, he has always been the fastest kid I’ve ever seen, PED’s or not.
BUT, I have heard the rumors of Top riders using PED’s and have to believe the hype. Never have we seen the domination in our sport, whether it’s SX/MX, since the incarnation of MC/RC.
Anybody remember RC’s first season on 250’s in SX. The guy would damn near crash his brains out every race, let alone have the speed to beat MC. Then miraculously mid season, he did a complete 180. Didn’t crash and then proceeded to beat MC on multiple occasions. Maybe his sprocket bolts weren’t tight enough??? Idk, but it was a bit fishy. And then RC went on to dominate for the rest of his career. Then started the domination sequence!!! Seems like ever since then, there has been a star that dominates to some degree in this sport. Looking back to the prior years of MC and RC, it was usually a tossup between the top 5 guys to whom was going to win. The Bailey, Johnson era. The Ward, Stanton, Bradshaw era. and so one.
If anyone has seen the “Icaras” documentary, then you know how easy it is to pass these drug tests. So even if there is wada testing at the races, that frankly doesn’t mean shit...
But when they line up in Monster Energy AMA Supercross or Lucas Oil Pro Motocross, WADA and USADA are there to do the monitoring, policing and ultimately penalizing if an athlete fails. That's what happened--that's what changed--after the meeting in Washougal that Jeff was referring to, and it wasn't his dad who brought the whole thing up, it was Ziggy from Factory Connection. In fact, I think his dad actually heard it wrong and that's why four days later he said MX Sports "is drug ring" and confused a conversation to police for PEDs with, well, I'm not really sure.
And Jeff's description of the meeting is plain wrong because, again, he wasn't there.

Thank you for the responses, the rest of you need to " Disbelieve the Hype "....

James Stewart and Cade Clason and the Moss brothers would all disagree.
It took two years on the 250 for RC to catch Jeremy, not all-the-sudden, just as it took Tom Brady two years to become the starter for the Patriots, and two years for Jordan to find his shot for the Bulls... And Jeremy was only racing SX at the time, so he wasn't training year-round the way Carmichael was.
RC laid the groundwork for how to go all-in on training. McGrath was so good that he could dominate without training. Once Ricky surpassed Jeremy in January 2001, he never won another race -- he was past having the drive to train like Ricky was, his own career already a masterpiece.
The USADA and WADA testing is working. All six OEMs told us at our meeting in mid-November that they want it to continue. They have a lot invested in these riders and they want testing to ensure no one is cheating, and if they are, they want them caught. We all do.

He had prescription grade anti-inflammatory medication in a syringe and vile in the truck, with no prescription. It was on Kawasaki company property, which is a breach of contract/boarder line illegal.
If he was a champ and winning races / wasn’t a pain in the ass to deal with (i.e. lying about weight during suspension)... they probably would have looked past it or given him a warning.
This is a tiny sport, and it's also very "closed". If you think any team managers or members of a riders entourage is going to drop their riders in the grease, you're crazy. And, it's very doubtful that any managers would do it to a rider from a competitors team out of the fear of being under the microscope themselves if the tables got turned. The chance of any real solid evidence of pro riders doping coming out is poor at the very least.
Like I said before everyone uses some sort of PED it’s just that many performance enhancers aren’t illegal.
The funny thing is many PEDS are legal if you get a TUE! (Sit around and think about that for awhile)
Does anyone know how many riders have a TUE?
Getting a Doctor to say you need something is about as hard as getting a handicap sticker for your car!

Some are shaking their heads and some are saying yep he’s right!
