The Best Buddies Racing team announced it has temporarily dropped Danny Summerhill from its roster after the Colorado rider accepted a one-year suspension for failing to obtain the proper Therapeutic Use Exemption for Adderall, a medication used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

Summerhill was due to race with the criterium specialist squad after a successful return to form in 2021 that saw him take second to L39ION's Tyler Williams at the Athens Twilight Criterium and second in the Springfield Criterium while riding as a guest of the team. He claimed his first win in Hapeville, Georgia last August. His positive test came after a second victory in the Hammerfest criterium in Birmingham, Alabama on August 14, 2021.
