Bobby Lea, a two-time US Olympic cyclist who had a doping ban reduced from 16 months to six, was named to the US team for the Rio Games on Friday.
USA Cycling announced the move, which came after an arbitrator ruled that Lea was eligible under the US Olympic Committee rules and should be selected.
In February, the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld Lea’s doping violation for a positive test at the US championships in August of 2015 for noroxycodone, a metabolite of the banned substance oxycodone.
