Aitor González Jiménez (born 27 February 1975) is a Spanish former professional road bicycle racer, who rode professionally between 1998 and 2005, and was the winner of the 2002 Vuelta a España.

Career

Born in Zumárraga, Gipuzkoa, González turned professional in 1998 with Avianca–Telecom. He won the 2002 Vuelta a España with Template:Cycling data KEL after attacking his teammate leading the race; he also won three stages during the race. Following his Vuelta victory, he transferred to Template:Cycling data FAS, after a long controversy surrounding a previous contract signed with Template:Cycling data ACQ.[1][2] He also won two stages at the 2002 Giro d'Italia, one at the 2003 Giro d'Italia and one at the 2004 Tour de France. He won the 2005 Tour de Suisse, before he retired in January 2006 after being tested positive for methyltestosterone metabolite twice during the 2005 season.[3] He was also linked with the Operación Puerto doping case.[4]

Post-cycling

After retirement, González had several run-ins with the law. In 2007, he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and cocaine. In 2008, a second arrest followed when he allegedly hired people to beat up a person who owed him money.[4] In 2011, González was again arrested for taking part in a bank fraud.[5] Lastly, in 2016, he was taken into custody a fourth time, for allegedly taking part in a robbery.[4]
