Serhiy Honchar

Cycling Disciplines

Serhiy Honchar, born on 3 July 1970, is a Ukrainian former professional road racing cyclist, often spelled Gonchar in English because of a spelling error in his passport. He won the World Time Trial Championship in 2000. In 1999 he failed a blood health check at the Tour de Suisse and was removed from the race; although it was not a doping offence, the Tour de France organisers still barred his Vini Caldirola team from that year's Tour. In the 2006 Tour de France he took the lead of the general classification after winning the stage 7 time trial, beating Landis, Zabriskie, Lang, Rogers, Klöden, Evans and others in the individual time trials of that Tour. In May 2007 his T-Mobile team suspended him for 30 days after blood tests taken at Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Tour de Romandie, and ended his contract in June 2007. He retired in 2010 after failing to find a new team.
