Marion Sicot, former French cyclist, received a 10-month suspended prison sentence and a €5000 fine for importing and possessing banned doping products. Admitting to multiple doping incidents between 2016-2019, Sicot's initial denial turned into an eventual confession, leading to a four-year ban from the sport. Despite the legal consequences, she expressed how personal struggles with self-confidence influenced her decision to dope. Her case is part of a broader crackdown on doping practices, involving others also charged with similar offenses.
I wasn't doing well, I lacked a lot of self-confidence...To perform at the level I wanted to, I took the easy way out.
It's very easy to dope, either you know someone, or you go on the Internet.
Sicot admitted to doping several times between 2016-2019 when her trial began in November last year.
Sicot also received a €5000 fine at the conclusion of a long anti-doping process on Wednesday but will not have to go to prison unless she commits another crime during the suspended sentence.
