Stefan Schumacher

Stefan Schumacher is a German former professional road racing cyclist, born on 21 July 1981. He turned professional with Team Telekom in 2002 and made his UCI ProTour debut with Gerolsteiner in 2006. That year he won the Eneco Tour of Benelux by one second and two stages of the Giro d'Italia. He took the bronze medal in the road race at the 2007 UCI Road World Championships in his home town of Stuttgart, and in 2008 he won both time trials at the Tour de France and wore the yellow jersey. A positive test for CERA from that Tour led to a two-year suspension from February 2009, later reduced by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and he was also disqualified from the 2008 Summer Olympics after positive tests. He returned to racing in 2010, confessed to doping in 2013 and retired in 2017.
