In 2010 he was making a comeback to cycling, racing for French amateur team Olympique Cycliste Val d’Oise.[1] DeCanio is an outspoken critic of doping in sport, and founded the Stolen Underground anti-doping movement after voluntarily confessing to performance-enhancing drug use and serving a two-year ban for doping.[2][3]
DeCanio was sued in 2008 by convicted doper Kayle Leogrande for defamation, after publishing a recorded telephone call between himself and Suzanne Sonye,[4] although the suit was thrown out by a judge in the Superior Court of California.[5]
