Alexi Grewal

Alexi Singh Grewal (born September 8, 1960) is an American Olympic gold medalist and former professional road racing cyclist.

[2] The United States Bicycling Hall of Fame gave the following description of his Los Angeles gold medal ride: "With an estimated crowd of 300,000 lining the 190.2-kilometer route, Grewal edged Canadian Steve Bauer to claim the gold medal in the men's road race, breaking away from the field with 20 kilometers remaining and opening up a 24-second lead after 11 of 12 laps and then being caught by Bauer with 10 kilometers left, setting up a dramatic final-lap showdown.

Grewal began making hand-hewn and crafted furniture and architectural features out of native hardwoods after his cycling days were over.

On April 3, 2008, VeloNews published an essay by Grewal on his personal use (and the overall prevalence) of doping in cycling[7] during his career, both in his amateur and professional days.

[8] On September 25, 2010, VeloNews announced that Grewal would be making a comeback at age 50,[9] targeting the Quiznos Pro Challenge in Colorado in 2011.
