Timeline

1973

Jonathan James Vaughters (born June 10, 1973) is an American former professional racing cyclist and current manager of UCI WorldTeam.

1980

Vaughters started competitive cycling in the 1980s, racing in the Red Zinger Mini Classics youth cycling series in Colorado.

A computer engineer specializing in financial management software, Ellis was a huge fan of cycling since the 1980s.

1992

Vaughters also holds the Cycle To The Sun record time of 2:38 set in 1992 for climbing Haleakala volcano on Maui, Hawaii.

1996

Vaughters states that he used erythropoietin (EPO) for the purpose of blood doping during 1996–2000, through organized doping schemes on the Santa Clara and U.S. Postal racing teams.

1997

In 1997 he moved to John Wordin's Comptel Data team, entering races he described as "A thousand times easier than being in Europe."

He had a successful season becoming US National Time Trial Champion, and was 3rd in the National Road Race.

His successes led to him signing for U.S. Postal Service cycling team.

1999

In 1999, he won the time trial of the Dauphiné Libéré and finished 2nd overall to Alexandre Vinokourov after losing the general classification leadership on the final stage.

He then went on to win the Route du Sud in preparation for the Tour de France as part of Lance Armstrong's team that went on to Armstrong's first win.

In that Tour, he earned the nickname "El Gato" (The Cat in Spanish), having landed on his feet after being thrown headfirst over his handlebars in the first stage.

In the second stage, he cut his chin in a crash and had to abandon the race.

This started his reputation as a somewhat innocent victim in a long series of ill-timed crashes, with an uncanny knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

He won the Mont Ventoux stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré in 1999 and 2001, and held the record for the fastest ascent until it was broken by Iban Mayo in 2004.

2000

In 2000, Vaughters joined the French team Crédit Agricole.

In the early part of the season he was third in the Tour Méditerranéen, sixth in Paris-Nice and in the Critérium International.

In June, he was fifth in the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, after placing fourth in the stage including Mont Ventoux.

In July, he participated in the Tour de France and abandoned during the tenth stage after a fall on the descent of the Col de Marie-Blanque.

2001

In 2001, he won the time trial in the Dauphiné Libéré, and the Duo Normand with teammate Jens Voigt.

During the Tour de France, he was part of the winning team in the team time trial.

2002

In 2002, he participated in his fourth and final Tour de France as a rider but failed again to reach the end of the race.

He abandoned at the eleventh stage after falling in the descent of the Col d'Aubisque.

He also observed other forms of doping by U.S. Postal riders, and he independently doped using EPO during 2002, until reconsidering his ethical choices.

2003

Following the abandonment, he requested and received the termination of his contract with Crédit Agricole which had been due to run until the end of 2003.

He retired from racing, citing a desire to spend more time with his family.

After returning to America he signed in 2003 for the U.S. team Prime Alliance 2003.

He ended his career as a cyclist at the end of that year.

Vaughters was a specialist climber and was touted as a Stage race specialist.

Recruitment was done by Vaughters and Prime Alliance director Roy Knickman with Colby Pearce as the head Sporting Director.
