"As part of sweeping changes for the 2016 season, USA Cycling will
triple its anti-doping efforts, drop one-day license prices, and add a
one-day option for higher category racers, according to documents
obtained by VeloNews.

The reforms, which were sent to local organizations, race organizers and
other stakeholders on Friday, are designed to decrease costs for new
riders while placing the financial burden for anti-doping on more
experienced riders.

All reforms are currently in a one-week comment period ending on Friday,
November 20th. They come five months after the installment of CEO Derek
Bouchard-Hall, as the organization struggles with falling membership,
decreasing sponsorship, a longstanding image problem, and a new
competitor for grassroots race sanctioning, North American Cycle Sport."
