Who is Matt DeCanio?

Matt DeCanio is an American ex-professional racing cyclist.

In 2010 he was making a comeback to cycling, racing for French amateur team Olympique Cycliste Val d’Oise. DeCanio is an outspoken critic of doping in 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.
