Career
Leontien van Moorsel at the 2018 Women's Amstel Gold Race.
Van Moorsel started her career in 1977.[dubious– discuss] She won major races both on the track, and on the road. In the first half of the 1990s, she won the Tour Féminin twice, after fierce competition with Jeannie Longo.
Van Moorsel dropped out of cycling in 1994 with anorexia nervosa[2] but recovered to compete at the World Championships in 1998, winning the time trial and coming second in the road race.
At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, van Moorsel won gold medals on the road (road race and time trial), and on the track (3km pursuit). At the 2004 Summer Olympics, she fell in the penultimate lap of the road race and was stretchered off and taken to the hospital by ambulance,[3] but nevertheless successfully defended her time trial title two days later.
She set a new world hour record for women of 46.065km, in 2003 in Mexico City,[5] which was not improved upon for almost 12 years, when UCI rule changes prompted a new succession of attempts.
Van Moorsel retired from professional cycling after the 2004 Olympics.
In 2017 Van Moorsel became director of the Women's Amstel Gold Race.[6]
In September 2017, Van Moorsel was accused by sports physician Peter Janssen of using EPO in 2000 and 2001.[7]
