Kayle Leogrande
Kayle Leogrande (born March 29, 1977 in Grand Terrace, CA) is an American amateur Masters road racing cyclist. Leogrande was the 2006 US National Criterium Champion and spent two years with the infamous Rock Racing-Murcia team, after having turned pro in 2005 with US domestic squad Jelly Belly-Kenda. Leogrande was embroiled in a doping scandal in 2008, when it was alleged that he confessed his use of performance-enhancing drugs to a team staffer when competing at Superweek on July 26, 2007. Leogrande vigorously contested the charges brought against him by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), but was suspended for two years after a three-member arbitration panel concluded he had used EPO. The Californian completed his suspension in late-2010, and announced his intention to compete again in a video released on YouTube.
==Cycling career==
Leogrande turned professional in 2005 with the Jelly Belly-Kenda team, and placed first in the Murrietta Stage Race. He reverted to amateur status in 2006 but won the US National Criterium Championship in Downers Grove, IL. That result and his edgy persona as a muscular professional tattoo-artist with a studio in Upland, CA earned Leogrande a return to the professional peloton in 2007, with Michael Ball's new Rock Racing team. There he would race alongside three-time US Olympian Mariano Friedick and seven-time US National Champion Rahsaan Bahati. Under the guidance of then team-manager and confidant Joseph M. Papp, Leogrande promptly won the points classification at the 2007 Redlands Bicycle Classic, where he also finished second in the stage two criterium. He claimed three stages at the International Cycling Classic-Superweek in Wisconsin before finishing second overall. One of Leogrande's most impressive results of the season, however, was his top-10 finish at the CSC International, alongside a field that included European professionals: he took 8th.
Leogrande remained with a completely revamped Rock Racing for the 2008 season, but attracted attention less for his riding than for allegations of doping and lawsuits. He collected a few podium finishes in minor races, but did climb to 6th in the USPRO National Criterium Championship, the professional version of which he'd won two years before.
