Greg Ball is one of the most popular and richest Sport Cyclist who was born on May 29, 1974 in Ipswich, Ipswich, Australia. Ball was born in Ipswich, Queensland on 29 May 1974, and was diagnosed with transverse myelitis.
On 4 February 2011, he broke a world record in the C1 men’s 1 km time trial at the Scody Cycling Australia Track National Championships; it was the fastest time since a change in the classification system in 2010. He voluntarily took a drug test to ensure the validation of his record, and tested positive for the banned substance stanozolol, an anabolic steroid. He was provisionally suspended on 9 March 2011, and on 26 October 2011, the Australian Sports Anti- Doping Authority (ASADA) announced that it had acknowledged the two-year ban imposed on Ball by Cycling Australia, backdated to the date of the provisional suspension. The ban prevented him from participating in the 2012 London Paralympics. He was also ordered to pay back $27,500 in grants to the Australian Sports Commission, and was stripped of his February 2011 world record. Ball said that taking the steroids was an honest mistake that had devastated him. In his submission to ASADA, he said that he had been suffering depression for the previous twelve months and admitted that he had taken “up to four tablets, the name and exact constituents of which he did not know at the time (and still does not know), obtained from a close friend”; he said that he believed the tablets were vitamins that would help him to recover from depression.
