Matt DeCanio
Matt DeCanio (born April 5, 1977) is an American ex-professional racing cyclist. DeCanio is an outspoken critic of doping in the sport, and founded the Stolen Underground anti-doping movement after voluntarily confessing to performance-enhancing drug use and serving a two-year ban for doping. DeCanio was sued in 2008 by convicted doper Kayle Leogrande for defamation, after publishing a recorded telephone call between himself and Suzanne Sonye, although the suit was thrown out by a judge in the Superior Court of California. In 2010 he was making a comeback to cycling, racing for French amateur team Olympique Cycliste Val d'Oise. In 2022 DeCanio wrote an autobiography detailing his entire racing career and the fallout of him calling out Lance Armstrong and others for doping, long before Armstrong admitted it. He reveals in his book how he was seen as crazy for bringing to light all the doping in the sport, as well as blacklisted, slandered, and threatened. Palmares
