McDonough later admitted to "blood doping" at the 1984 Games. This was not illegal at the time, and one-third of the U.S. cycling team had received blood transfusions before the games.[2]

In recent years Patrick has helped run the Olympic Training Center Velodrome and the Boulder Valley Velodrome.
