Greaves said taking the prohibited substance was not deliberate

Alanzo Greaves  

Alanzo Greaves spoke yesterday for the first time since news broke on Monday that he will be slapped with a further three years on his initial one-year ban which he completed last November for a positive test for a prohibited substance, testosterone.

The standout wheelsman who denied that the use of the substance was deliberate, noted that all he can do at this point is hope that his period of illegibility is shortened if he decides to appeal the decision in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Greaves, 28, then stated that cycling is his passion and he has no plans on retiring even though three years away from the sport in his prime could perhaps derail his career.
