Maurice Garin

Maurice-François Garin[2] (pronounced [mɔʁis fʁɑ̃swa ɡaʁɛ̃, moʁ-]; 3 March 1871[citation needed] – 19 February 1957)[3] was an Italian-French road bicycle racer best known for winning the inaugural Tour de France in 1903, and for being stripped of his title in the second Tour in 1904 along with eight others, for cheating.[4][5][6] He was of Italian origin but adopted French nationality on 21 December 1901.
