Adrian Karsten

Adrian Karsten

Adrian Karsten (March 13, 1960–September 2 2005 in Horicon, Wisconsin) was a college football sideline reporter for ESPN known for wearing his trademark suspenders. He attended Northwestern University and graduated in 1982. He was a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.

He committed suicide and was found dead at his home just before he was scheduled to report to federal prison for tax evasion.

Karsten was known in the cycling community for his 'side-line' style reporting while anchoring during ESPN's broadcasts of the Tour de France. Karsten hosted the Tour De France from 1994 through 2000 - more than any other American Tour De France host.

Reports surfaced in 2006 that Karsten was in the shower at the time of his death.
