Sofie De Vuyst (born 2 April 1987) is a Belgian former racing cyclist,[4] who rode professionally between 2006 and 2019. Between 2010 and 2016 she competed in every UCI Road World Championships.[5] She was voted 2019 Flandrienne of the Year (best Belgian female cyclist).[2][6]
In September 2019, De Vuyst tested positive for an exogenous steroid in an out of competition control. De Vuyst's positive test came on 18 September, in the week after the Belgium Tour, where she finished seventh overall and won the mountains classification, and before the UCI Road World Championships.[2][6] A contract that she had signed for 2020 with Mitchelton–Scott was suspended as a result of her positive test.[7]
