Doping
Axelsson tested positive for EPO in the 2001 UCI Road World Championships in Lisbon and later admitted his guilt. He was suspended for four years by the Swedish Cycling Federation (SCF) but made an early comeback in 2004. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2007 but made a complete recovery.
In 2010 it was found that his September 2009 A sample was positive for EPO. On 7 July 2010, the B sample was deemed positive and the Swedish Cycling Federation suspended Axelsson for life.
