David McCann was hit with a six-month ban following a positive test for the substance Norandrosterone in 2002 during the Tour of Austria, which returned a reading 3nanograms above the permitted level of the substance. Laboratory tests showed a legal glutamine supplement he was using contained norandrosterone not listed on the label. This evidence led to him being given the minimum allowed six month suspension and fined 2000 Swiss Francs.

Like several other British athletes suspended around this time, McCann was sponsored by sport nutrition company Maximmuscle.
