Bo Hamburger (born May 24, 1970 in Frederiksberg) is a Danish professional road racing cyclist. He retired in 2006.
He was fired from Team CSC in 2001, after a positive EPO test. He was later cleared legally since the B test was below the limit, but still much higher than normal. Since then, the Danish Cycle Union refused to let Bo Hamburger represent Denmark. Hamburger did through legal means fight that exclusion.
In his book Den største pris - en cykelrytters bekendelser (The Greatest Cost - Confession of a Cyclist) released in Denmark on November 7, 2007, he admitted to using EPO and human growth hormone from 1995 to 1997.[1]
