Only weeks after celebrating its most successful Olympic Games in cycling, the sport in Australia is set to be plunged into a new crisis with the revelation that the governing body, Cycling Australia, today issued a new infraction notice for alleged doping.

Graham Fredericks, the CEO of Cycling Australia, confirmed that an infraction notice was to be served to a member of the Australian junior track cycling squad. Although Fredericks refused to confirm or deny the identity of the rider, Cyclingnews understands the rider is Victorian sprinter Shane Perkins, 17, who won two gold medals at the World Junior Track Cycling championships in Los Angeles in July.

It's believed the rider tested positive to a stimulant of a recreational nature or some sort of flu medication following the keirin event on July 29, where he won the gold medal. However, sources told Cyclingnews that Perkins' subsequent samples provided in events after the keirin - such as the sprint, where he also won gold were clear of any banned substances. Perkins may be stripped of one or both of his gold medals, depending on the outcome of a possible hearing - if the athlete successfully appeals - and then a ruling by the UCI.

If Perkins is to lose his gold medal in the keirin - and it has to be stressed that the rider has 14 days to appeal the finding, which could be overturned - this would elevate American teenager, Ryan Nelman, into the bronze medal, while Daniel Thorsen from Australia would be the new gold medalist and Francesco Kanda (Italy) would take the silver.

The rest is here
