José Manuel Moreno Periñán (born May 7, 1969 in Amsterdam ), usually with the patronymic José Moreno , is a former Spanish cyclist who had his greatest successes as a track cyclist .

Life

Moreno became world champion in the 1000 meter time trial in Stuttgart in 1991 ; in the same year he won the sprint and time trial at the Mediterranean Games .

Moreno competed in the Olympic Games three times - in 1988 , 1992 and 1996 . At the 1992 Games in his home country, Moreno, who also competed in sprinting , was Olympic champion in the 1000-meter time trial with a winning time of 1: 03.342 minutes, leaving second-placed Shane Kelly almost a second behind. He was the first Spaniard to win an Olympic gold medal in track cycling. The athlete Fermín Cacho therefore called him a "can opener": "He paved the way for us."

In 1998 José Manuel Moreno finished sixth in the team sprint at the World Track Championships together with José Antonio Escuredo and José Antonio Villanueva .

In 2017, Moreno announced that he wanted to qualify for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo ; he had promised his son that.

doping

In 1991 Moreno was banned from September 20th to December 20th for doping offenses. During a time trial record attempt in Bassano del Grappa , Italy , traces of the anabolic steroid nortestosterone were found - in the same as in 20 other drivers . All positive tested drivers and also Huck were acquitted by the UCI due to procedural errors.
