James Martin Vinnicombe (born 5 December 1964 in Melbourne, Victoria) is a retired Australian track cyclist who competed at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, winning a silver medal in 1000 metres time trial. He tested positive for steroids in 1991. His former manager, Phill Bates, told the Sydney Morning Herald in 1996: "He knew the only way to win was to cheat." [1] Vinnicombe won the world championship for amateurs in 1 km time trial in 1987. He also won the silver medal three times (1986, 1989 and 1990) and the bronze medal once (1985).
