Originally launched in 2013, the 2016 season saw USA Cycling revamp its testing of amateur athletes through its anti-doping, RaceClean initiative, announcing that it found five anti-doping violations out of 185 tests.

Membership fees for domestic racers did not increase, but a one-time $5 RaceClean anti-doping surcharge was added to category 1 mountain bike, category 2 and 3 cyclocross, road and track licenses as well as $25 for category 1 road, track and cyclocross racers.
