Cycling career – road and track


Brown is a member of Drapac Cannondale Holistic Development Team, which is an Australian UCI Professional Continental cycling team, and also of the Randwick Botany Cycling Club.[citation needed]


Brown's greatest success as a road cyclist has been in the Tour de Langkawi in Malaysia, including a record breaking 5 stage wins in 2005 and winning the Points Classification in 2003 and 2005.[citation needed]


As a track cyclist he won a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens as a member of the team pursuit (with Bradley McGee, Brett Lancaster, and Luke Roberts) in world record breaking time of 3:58.233. He also won a gold medal with Stuart O'Grady for the Madison event at the 2004 Summer Olympics. At the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester he won two gold medals: for the Team pursuit, and the Scratch Race.


Brown was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder.[2]



Mark French drug scandal


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 were riders who often injected vitamins and supplements in his room.[3][4] 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 Institute of Sport.[4] On testing some of the syringes were also found to contain the EquiGen hormone.[4] French's lifetime ban was ultimately exonerated on appeal and Brown himself was never charged with any offense.



Personal life


Brown hails from Menai, an outer suburb of Sydney. He married former Australian Womens Road Cyclist Hayley Rutherford, and has 3 children. They separated in 2017.



Awards and recognition


Brown was awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in the 2005 Australia Day Honours List.[citation needed] Other awards include NSW cyclist of the year.[citation needed]
