Kirk O'Bee


Kirk O'Bee is a former professional road racing cyclist from the United States. He won two national championships – in 1997 the USPRO pursuit championship, and in 2001 the USPRO criterium championship.

Doping

In 2002, O'Bee was suspended for a year after testing at the 2001 US championship showed an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio. O'Bee said the positive drug test "resulted from a special training regimen recommended by his coach, which involved dietary supplements and exercise."
O'Bee was fired by the Bissell team on July 31, 2009 for a doping violation. On October 7, 2010, the United States Anti-Doping Agency handed O'Bee a lifetime ban for EPO usage. All results he obtained after October 3, 2005 were vacated.
