Cyclist avoids costly suspension
Fine levied for doping violation
RANDY STARKMAN SPORTS REPORTER
Genevieve Jeanson can compete at the Athens Olympics
after escaping suspension yesterday for missing a drug
test, but not everyone on the Canadian cycling scene will
applaud the news.
The 22-year-old from Lachine, Que., who faced a maximum
six-month suspension for missing a doping test at a race
in Belgium on April 21, received a warning and a fine of
500 Swiss francs ($548 Cdn.) yesterday for what was
recorded as a doping violation by the United States Anti-
Doping Agency (USADA).
The case was handled by USADA because Jeanson is racing
under a USA Cycling licence after the Quebec Cycling
Federation refused to grant her one. The Quebec group wanted
more medical information after she was pulled from the road
race at last year's world championships in Hamilton when her
hematocrit level (ratio of red blood cells to total volume
of blood) tested too high.
Jeanson's principal residence is in the U.S.
