Canadian cyclist Jeanson admits to doping

I was a fan of Jeanson but like too many cyclists, Jeanson admits to doping throughout her career.

At the 2003 world championships in Hamilton, Jeanson was prevented from racing because her level of red blood cells was dangerously high, raising suspicions.

At the time, Jeanson went before the Quebec media to deny ever taking erythropoietin.

"It was not Geneviève that lied," she said in Thursday's interview. "It was someone else I did not know. It was something I was told to do and yes, I do regret it."

Jeanson, 26, now lives in Phoenix, Ariz., where she has a business selling bicycles online.

She said she has no plans to return to Canada in the near future and while she does miss cycling, she's glad she doesn't have to live a lie anymore.

The thing is, it was Geneviève who lied, who cheated, and even if you were told to do it, you had a choice. Is there an elite cyclist that isn't cheating anymore. If you find one, let me know.
