I reached out to Katie Compton to see how she's doing in her post-cycling life, what it's like to transition out of something you've done your entire life, and find out what she's up to. now. I also wanted to talk about her experiences with WADA (the World Anti Doping Agency) and USADA (the US Anti Doping Agency). From what I'd read and heard about her, and other athlete's experiences, it's a process slanted away from the rights of athletes and to the governing bodies. Did we solve the world's problems? Is cycling now a clean sport? Was Katie treated fairly? This conversation will likely leave us all with more questions - but it's a discussion.
