Cyclist's been dogged by controversy

Her place to be filled by Manon Jutras

Cyclist Genevieve Jeanson, dogged by doping suspicions and controversy all season,
has been left off the Canadian Olympic team headed for Athens.

A former double world junior champion once considered the future bright light of
Canadian cycling, the 22-year-old from Lachine, Que., was the only rider with a
World Cup victory this season, but she had performed poorly otherwise and was likely
hurt by the perception she's not a team player.

Jeanson was rejected for the third and final spot on the women's road race team in
favour of Manon Jutras of Drummondville, Que., who also struggled this season but
looked strong in finishing second behind Lyne Bessette of Knowlton, Que., at the
recent national championships in Kamloops, B.C.

Ironically, Jutras was helped along at the nationals by Bessette, who desperately
wanted to keep Jeanson off the team.

The two are hated rivals. They feuded at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where Bessette
blamed Jeanson for messing up her chances by leading a chase group against her when
she was in front during the race. Bessette also gloated when Jeanson was pulled from
the world championships in Hamilton last year after failing a blood test.

That's a shame. Like I said, What's going on with Jeanson?

Can you fake a WADA protocol?

It's a shame that she won't be racing on a course that doesn't suit her?
