Genevieve Jeanson quitting

After a possible lifetime ban from cycling after two failed doping tests, Canadian cyclist Geneviève Jeanson announced her retirement from cycling. "It's over," she told La Presse. "I don't want anything to do with cycling. I'm tired of fighting and repeating that I have never taken EPO or any banned substance."
