David Walsh
David Joseph Walsh is an Irish sports journalist, who is chief sports writer of the British newspaper The Sunday Times. He is a four-time Irish Sportswriter of the Year and a three-time UK Sportswriter of the Year. Walsh was the key journalist in uncovering the doping program by Lance Armstrong and the US Postal Service Cycling Team. Walsh was vindicated when Armstrong was stripped of all his seven of his Tour titles, and banned from cycling for life, on October 22, 2012.
Walsh began his career as a cub reporter on the Leitrim Observer, where he worked his way up to become editor at 25. He left the paper to join the Dublin-based daily the Irish Press. In 1984 he took a year out to cover cycling sport in Paris. Returning to his Dublin-based paper after that year he ultimately left in 1987 to work for the Sunday Tribune before moving onto the rival Sunday Independent four years later. Walsh joined The Sunday Times in Ireland in 1996 and began working on the story about doping in professional cycling shortly after moving to England in 1998.
