In 2022 Ray won the National road race championships in a reduced bunch sprint of six.[4]
In 2021 Olivia won $15,000 in a criterium where she beat the current US criterium champion by 1 second to the line.[5] By December she had not received her prize money.[6]
She was removed from the Human Powered Health roster without explanation in March 2022.[7] According to USADA there is a current investigation into Ray.[8] In July 2022, Ray confessed in an interview to having used the banned substance Clenbuterol at least twice out of competition, claiming that it was under pressure from her then boyfriend. At that point, she was uncertain what penalty USADA would give her, but said she would retire if she received a ban longer than one year.[9]
