**Graeme Allen Brown** [OAM](/source/Medal_of_the_Order_of_Australia) (born 9 April 1979 in [Darwin, Northern Territory](/source/Darwin%2C_Northern_Territory)) is an Australian former professional [cyclist](/source/Cycle_sport),[1] who competed professionally between 2002 and 2016 for the [Ceramica Panaria–Navigare](/source/Bardiani%E2%80%93CSF_7_Saber), [Belkin Pro Cycling](/source/Visma%E2%80%93Lease_a_Bike_(men's_team)) and [Drapac Professional Cycling](/source/Drapac_Cannondale_Holistic_Development_Team) teams.

A former [Australian Institute of Sport](/source/Australian_Institute_of_Sport) scholarship holder,[2] Brown's greatest success as a road cyclist came in the [Tour de Langkawi](/source/Tour_de_Langkawi) in [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia), including a record-breaking 5 stage wins in 2005 and winning the Points Classification in 2003 and 2005.[3]

As a [track cyclist](/source/Track_cycling) he won a [gold medal](/source/Gold_medal) at the [2004 Summer Olympics](/source/2004_Summer_Olympics) in [Athens](/source/Athens) as a member of the [team pursuit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cycling_at_the_2004_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Team_Pursuit_Men&action=edit&redlink=1) (with [Bradley McGee](/source/Bradley_McGee), [Brett Lancaster](/source/Brett_Lancaster), and [Luke Roberts](/source/Luke_Roberts_(cyclist))) in world record-breaking time of 3:58.233. He also won a gold medal with [Stuart O'Grady](/source/Stuart_O'Grady) for the [Madison](/source/Madison_(cycling)) event at the [2004 Summer Olympics](/source/Cycling_at_the_2004_Summer_Olympics). At the [2002 Commonwealth Games](/source/2002_Commonwealth_Games) in [Manchester](/source/Manchester) he won two gold medals: for the [Team pursuit](/source/Team_pursuit), and the [Scratch Race](/source/Scratch_Race_(cycling)).

## Mark French accusations

At a hearing before the Court of Arbitration for Sport, cyclist [Mark French](/source/Mark_French) gave sworn evidence that named [Shane Kelly](/source/Shane_Kelly), [Sean Eadie](/source/Sean_Eadie), [Jobie Dajka](/source/Jobie_Dajka), and Graeme Brown as riders who often injected vitamins and supplements in his room.[4][5] 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](/source/Australian_Institute_of_Sport).[5] On testing, some of the syringes were also found to contain the EquiGen hormone.[5] French's lifetime ban was ultimately overturned on appeal, and Brown himself was never charged with any offense.
