David McCann (born March 17 1973 in Belfast) is an Irish professional road bicycle racer for the Taiwan-based UCI Continental team Giant Asia Racing team.
McCann was the Irish national road race champion in 2000, 2001 and 2006. He has also won the Irish national time trial championships 4 times (2001, 2002, 2004 & 2005).
In 2005, McCann captured the overall title at the Tour de Korea. In 2006 he won the Tour of Indonesia; 2 stages in the Tour of Thailand; 1 stage at the Tour of Qinghai Lake and 1 stage in the Tour of Azerbaijan. He represented Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games time trial, finishing 5th.
David McCann was hit with a six-month ban following a positive test for the substance Norandrosterone in 2002 during the Tour of Austria, which returned a reading 3nanograms above the permitted level of the substance. Laboratory tests showed a legal glutamine supplement he was using contained norandrosterone not listed on the label. This evidence led to him being given the minimum allowed six month suspension and fined 2000 Swiss Francs.
Like several other British athletes suspended around this time, McCann was sponsored by sport nutrition company Maximmuscle.
