Alerting users

  • {{alert/first}} ({{Contentious topics/alert/first}}) is used, on a user's talk page, to "alert", or draw a user's attention, to the contentious topics system if they have never received such an alert before. In this case, this template must be used for the notification.
  • {{alert}} ({{Contentious topics/alert}}) is used, on a user's talk page, to "alert", or draw a user's attention, to the fact that a specific topic is a contentious topic. It may only be used if the user has previously received any contentious topic alert, and it can be replaced by a custom message that conveys the contentious topic designation.
  • {{alert/DS}} ({{Contentious topics/alert/DS}}) is used to inform editors that the old "discretionary sanctions" system has been replaced by the contentious topics system, and that a specific topic is a contentious topic.
  • {{Contentious topics/aware}} is used to register oneself as already aware that a specific topic is a contentious topic.

Robert "Bobby" Lea is an American track cyclist.[1] At the 2008 Summer Olympics, he competed in the men's point race, which he did not finish, and the men's madison, where he finished in 16th place.[2] At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he competed in the men's omnium.

Doping case

After U.S. Track Nationals in 2015, Lea tested positive for noroxycodone, a metabolite of oxycodone found in Percocet which is a substance on the USADA banned list.[3] Lea was given a 16-month suspension starting September 10, 2015. He petitioned the suspension to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and On February 26, 2016 his suspension was reduced to 6-months.[4] Lea responded to his initial suspension by posting on his private website: "On the night of August 7th, in a state of post-race exhaustion and having run out of my normal sleep aid, I made the poor choice to take my prescription Percocet hoping it would help me rest."[5]
