Christophe Brandt (born May 6, 1977 in Liège) is a Belgian professional road bicycle racer for UCI ProTeam Predictor-Lotto. In 2004, he returned a positive test for methadone. He believed the test was a result of a tainted nutritional supplement that he had taken to cure a liver problem. The chemist who had prepared Brandt's prescription confirmed he had been working with methadone on the same day he had preprared Brandt's presciprtion. This did not satisfy Brandt's team management, who fired him. However, later in the year the Belgian Cycling Federation exonerated Brandt, and his Lotto team rehired him. He is still with the team (now under the Predictor-Lotto name) today.
