CYCLING Australia chief executive Graham Fredericks says he believes Jobie Dajka was close to making a comeback before the former world champion was found dead at his Adelaide home today.
Police say Dajka's death is not being treated as suspicious.
Dajka, who won the kieren title at the 2003 world championships, acknowledged suffering from alcoholism and depression following his omission from the 2004 Olympic team for lying to a doping inquiry.
Mr Fredericks said today that CA provided psychological care and counselling to Dajka in the wake of that omission.
The CA chief spoke to Dajka late last year and said he got the impression the 27-year-old was doing well in his battle with depression and close to making a comeback.
