Antwan Tolhoek (born 29 April 1994) is a Dutch cyclist, who last rode for UCI Continental team Sabgal–Anicolor.[4]
Born in Yerseke, Tolhoek was named as part of the LottoNL–Jumbo squad in the startlist for the 2017 Vuelta a España.[5] In December 2017, he was suspended for 2 months by his team, for possession of sleeping pills during a pre-season training camp – violating the team's internal rules.[6] In July 2018, he was named in the start list for the 2018 Tour de France.[7] In May 2019, he was named in the startlist for the 2019 Giro d'Italia.[8]
His father Patrick Tolhoek was also a professional cyclist.[9]
On July 16, 2025, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) announced that Tolhoek had been found guilty of an anti-doping rule violation following the detection of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) in his system. As a result, Tolhoek was handed a four-year period of ineligibility, rendering him unable to compete in any UCI-sanctioned events until February 6, 2028. In accordance with anti-doping regulations, Tolhoek retains the right to appeal the decision through the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).[10]
