The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced Wednesday that Jackson "Huntley" Nash of Marietta, Georgia, has been banned for life after an investigation found evidence of multiple anti-doping rule violations.

According to USADA, the investigation into the U.S. cyclist began in December 2021 after receiving information from a whistleblower.

"This is yet another case that demonstrates the power of investigations in the shared fight to protect the sport and athletes' rights," USADA CEO Travis T. Tygart said in a statement.

"As always, we will thoroughly investigate and act on evidence of doping violations." "We greatly appreciate the assistance of those who come forward to help clean sport."

Nash has been racing in the US for years and has competed in over a dozen Pro/Cat 1 races in 2021. His last major race was the Spartanburg Criterium last August, and his best result this year was sixth in the Miami Pre-Criterium Series Men's Cat1/2/3 division in April 2021.

According to USADA, Nash's lifetime suspension will begin on June 30, 2022. The anti-doping agency added that disqualification would apply to results after December 15, 2021, when evidence of Nash's possession of a banned substance was collected.

The Anti-Doping Agency announced that its investigation resulted in evidence and testimony indicating that Nash committed the following anti-doping rule violations:

Nash reportedly had a difficult relationship with New Zealand professional cyclist Olivia Ray, A domestic violence hearing in Gwinnett County Superior Court reportedly revealed details of their problems.

Last month, the NZ Herald reported that Ray, who raced professionally in the US last year and won the New Zealand championship road race in February, revealed in an interview that she had taken performance enhancing substances.

She is currently awaiting the results of a USADA investigation, which could result in a ban of up to four years. Rey was dismissed from her Human Powered Health team in March for alleged violations of the code of conduct.

Cycling New Zealand confirmed to Cycling News that DFSNZ (Drug Free Sport New Zealand) informed them that a USADA investigation was underway.
