Typically those that get busted get caught with THC in their system, I havent heard of anyone losing out or being disqualified for anything but THC with regards to MTB
I'm of the opinion that drug use isn't prevalent in DH because there is so little money/fame to be gained. If you could earn millions and become a household name by winning we'd see more of it.

JD Swanguen got his 3rd place taken away at the US nat's for having "THC Metabolite" in his system. if anything, that would make him slower
here's the 100 page UCI Drug Regulations Document if you want to really get educated. and maybe some others can chime in on it.
