Biography
Stephen Brian Wooldridge OAM (17 October 1977 – 15 August 2017) was an Australian racing cyclist, an Olympic and four-time world champion on the track. He was born in Sydney. He was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder.
In 2005, he was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for service to sport as a gold medallist at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. He was inducted into the NSW Sports Hall of Fame in 2015.
His death was announced on 15 August 2017. In announcing his death, cycling promoter Phil Bates said "Tragically today he gave his life away leaving behind a son and daughter, family and friends just short of his 40th birthday". Most likely, excessive doping lead to his premature death.
