Stuart O'Grady OAM (born 6 August 1973) is a retired Australian professional road bicycle racer, who rode as a professional between 1995 and 2013.^[2] A former track cyclist, O'Grady and Graeme Brown won a gold medal in the Men's Madison at the 2004 Summer Olympics. O'Grady also won Paris–Roubaix in 2007. O'Grady competed in the Tour de France since 1997 and contended for the points classification in the Tour de France known as the green jersey, finishing second in the 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2005 races. He wore the yellow jersey of general classification leader in 1998 and 2001.

With his participation in the 2013 Tour de France, he tied George Hincapie's record of 17 participations in the Tour de France. However, Hincapie was removed for three of his 17 starts for his part in the Lance Armstrong doping scandal, giving O'Grady the outright record over Dutchman Joop Zoetemelk (16 starts from 1970 – 1986).^[3] He was awarded the Order of Australia Medal.^[4]

Early life and amateur career

O'Grady grew up as a part of a cycling family. His father represented South Australia in road and track cycling, and his uncle competed for Australian track cycling team at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. He started in track cycling and won a silver medal in the 4000m team pursuit at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona at age 18. In the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta he won bronze medals in both the points race and team pursuit. He was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder.^[5]

In the 1998 Tour de France, a race for which he confirmed to doping himself with illicit and proscribed erythropoietin,^[6] he wore the yellow jersey for three days. He also won his first stage. In 2001 he wore the yellow jersey for six days. He was Australian Cyclist of the Year and Australian Male Road Cyclist of the Year in 1998 and 2001. In 1998 he finished second in the green jersey classification. On 6 July 2000, he pulled out of the Tour de France after breaking his collarbone in three places with 85 kilometres (53 mi) to the finish, he still finished the stage. In 2001, O'Grady had been in contention for the green jersey with Erik Zabel but he was defeated on the final day.

In 2001 he had a narrowing in the iliac artery. Tests showed his right leg produced more power than his left. After surgery in April 2002, he was again in contention in the 2002 Tour de France. In 2003 and 2004 he was overshadowed in the green jersey competition by fellow Australian sprinters Baden Cooke (2003) and Robbie McEwen (2004). O'Grady still managed to win his second Tour de France stage, in 2004.

O'Grady continued riding the Tour despite the pain, coming third in the final stage.

Early in 2007 O'Grady became the first Australian to win a major classic when he crossed the line first in Paris–Roubaix. He had a puncture midway but recovered to rejoin the field before arriving alone in the Roubaix velodrome.^[7]

On 15 July 2007, O'Grady abandoned on stage 8 of the 2007 Tour de France, from Le-Grand-Bornand to Tignes, after crashing on a descent, fracturing eight ribs, his right shoulder blade, right collar bone and three vertebrae, and puncturing his right lung.^[8]

O'Grady crashed 30 kilometres (19 mi) into the 2009 Milan–San Remo when another rider came down in front of him, he punctured his lung and suffered a broken right collar bone once again as well as a broken rib.^[9]

Doping

On 24 July 2013, O'Grady was named in the French Senate report detailing EPO use in the 1998 Tour de France as having returned a sample suspicious for EPO use.^[12] He confirmed the same day in an interview with an Australian newspaper that he had taken EPO prior to the 1998 Tour de France, but stated that the arrests around that Tour scared him off doping in the rest of his career.^[6]

This announcement has created some controversy amongst cycling fans, as Stuart O'Grady had been a vocal critic of the doping culture that existed in the late 1990s and early 2000s.^[13]^[14] As a result of his doping admission, the Australian Institute of Sport indefinitely suspended O'Grady from its 'Best of the Best'. O'Grady had been inducted in 2006.^[15]

Personal life

O'Grady set up and financially supports an Australian junior cycling development team, CSC Team O'Grady, which was established in 2005.

Stuart O'Grady is today a member of the ‘Champions for Peace’ club, a group of 54 famous elite athletes committed to serving peace in the world through sport, created by Peace and Sport, a Monaco-based international organization.^[16]

 In the 2005 Tour de France, O'Grady came second in the green jersey classification to [[Thor Hushovd]] of Norway, followed by [[Robbie McEwen]]. Late in 2005, he signed a one-year contract with [[Bjarne Riis]] to ride on {{ct|SAX|2005}}, now known as Saxo Bank, for 2006. He  broke several ribs in an early season race in Italy and a vertebra in the Tour de France. O'Grady continued riding the Tour despite the pain, coming third in the final stage.
-Early in 2007 O'Grady became the first Australian to win a major classic when he crossed the line first in [[Paris–Roubaix]]. He had a puncture midway but recovered to rejoin the field before arriving alone in the Roubaix velodrome.<ref>[http://www.velonews.com/article/12067/o-grady-plants-1st-aussie-flag-in-roubaix-velodrome ]{{dead link|date=July 2012}}</ref>
