The USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) has announced that downhill pro Gary Houseman returned a positive test for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) at the Grouse Mountain World Cup on July 12th 2003.

THC is a metabolite of marijuana. Under UCI / IOC rules it is a prohibited substance.

Houseman accepted a one-year suspension from competition beginning on July 12, 2003, the date of the test.

All of his results from that date (including his Grouse win) are now invalid. In addition, he has received a fine of 2,000 Swiss Francs.

This all means that Ivan Oulego Moreno of Spain therefore won at the rain-affected Grouse Mountain round.
