Jérôme Chiotti (born 18 January 1972) is a French former professional racing cyclist who competed in road, cyclo-cross 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 Championships 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.
