Jérôme Chiotti (born 18 January 1972 in Millau, France) was a professional racing cyclist in both road and mountain bike disciplines. He is most renowned for his victory in the 1996 World Mountain Bike Championships, a title which he later renounced by admitting doping.[1]
Doping Admission
Chiotti admitted to doping in order to win the 1996 World Champsionships in an interview with French magazine Vélo Vert on 23 April 2000.[2] He admitted to spending up to US$6000 per year for EPO. He consequently renounced his World title during a press conference in Paris on 25 May 2000. [3] The official UCI results were amended to reflect Thomas Frischknecht as the winner of the 1996 World Champion title.
