Brigitte McMahon Huber (born March 25, 1967) is an athlete from Switzerland, who competes in triathlon.
McMahon competed at the first Olympic triathlon at the 2000 Summer Olympics. She won the gold medal with a total time of 2:00:40.52, which is still (as of 2005) the fastest time for a female in an Olympic triathlon. Her split times were 19:44.58 for the swim, 1:05:42.30 for the cycling and 0:35:13.64 for the run.
Huber competed at the second Olympic triathlon at the 2004 Summer Olympics. She took tenth place with a total time of 2:07:07.73.
McMahon tested positive for erythropoietin (EPO) doping during a competition in June 2005, though she maintains that she did not begin doping until well after the Sydney Games where she won her gold medal. She was immediately removed from the Swiss national team and was facing a two-year ban from triathlon. McMahon decided to retire.
