THE Australian Sports Commission (ASC) on Wednesday became the latest organisation to distance itself from SA cyclist Stuart O'Grady following his doping admission. The ASC released a statement which said O'Grady had been suspended indefinitely from the Australian Institute of Sport's "best of the best" honour roll after he admitted to doping before the 1998 Tour de France. A former AIS scholarship holder, O'Grady was added to the list in 2006 to acknowledge his achievements which include four Olympic medals. ASC chief executive Simon Hollingsworth said O'Grady's admission was deeply disappointing. "Unfortunately there is no escaping the fact that Stuart's admission does diminish his achievements," Hollingsworth said. The problems cycling, especially professional road racing, has had with doping in that era are well documented but there is never an excuse for athletes to use performance enhancing drugs.
