Graeme Brown

Graeme Allen Brown (born 9 April 1979 in Darwin, Northern Territory) is an Australian former professional cyclist, who competed professionally between 2002 and 2016 for the, and teams.

At the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester he won two gold medals: for the Team pursuit, and the Scratch Race.

At a hearing before the Court of Arbitration for Sport, cyclist Mark French gave sworn evidence that named Shane Kelly, Sean Eadie, Jobie Dajka, and Graeme Brown as riders who often injected vitamins and supplements in his room.

13 ampoules labelled EquiGen (equine growth hormone, an illegal doping agent), syringes and vitamins had been discovered by cleaners outside French's boarding room at the Australian Institute of Sport.

On testing, some of the syringes were also found to contain the EquiGen hormone.

French's lifetime ban was ultimately overturned on appeal, and Brown himself was never charged with any offense.

Brown hails from Menai, an outer suburb of Sydney.

He has three sons and a daughter.

Recently married Brooke Colton.
