Mark French accusations

At a hearing before the Court of Arbitration for Sport, cyclist Mark French gave sworn evidence that named Shane Kelly, Sean Eadie, Jobie Dajka, and Graeme Brown as riders who often injected vitamins and supplements in his room. 13 ampoules labelled EquiGen (equine growth hormone, an illegal doping agent), syringes and vitamins had been discovered by cleaners outside French's boarding room at the Australian Ins*ute of Sport. On testing, some of the syringes were also found to contain the EquiGen hormone. French's lifetime ban was ultimately overturned on appeal, and Brown himself was never charged with any offense.

Brown hails from Menai, an outer suburb of Sydney. He has three sons and a daughter. Recently married Brooke Colton.
