stimulus - stimulating product (in this case doping) is my guess
Thanks.

So now the rumor is there are three positives. Presumably only one of them are German (since the information about the German positive comes from the German Olympic Committee).The German might be a biathlete.

According to Die Welt 1799 doping samples were collected and tested from the first week of the Olympics, and all were negative. If that is true the positives are from samples taken in the last week (whenever that started, at Saturday, Sunday, Monday?)

Allein in der ersten Wettkampfwoche hatte es 1799 Dopingkontrollen gegeben. Alle waren negativ ausgefallen.

There are currently two rumors floating around. Sachenbacher or Henkel
Henkel has been picked for todays relay, Sachenbacher-Stehle hasn't. Presumably it isn't Henkel?

In Turin Sachenbacher-Stehles hemoglobin level was too high.

Sachenbacher was my first thought when I read "german biathlete". She's the only one whith some pace. Not sure how to feel about a stimulant positive though.

Well geting busted twice during two different olympics is some sort of a sucess, too. Not too many have accomplished such a feat.
In Turin she only had to sit out five days though. For her health. Thankfully she recovered. But now she is up there with Kaisa Varis, another former cross country skier gone biathlete, who tested positive twice, first as a cross country skier, and then as a biathlete, only for IBU to **** it up so she was cleared by CAS.

I'm glad to see IBU's targeted testing is working brilliantly. They caught 3 right before the Olympics, but still they got an Olympic scandal.

ZDF-Redakteur Ralf Paniczek bestätigt in Sotschi, dass im Anti-Doping-Labor die Öffnung der B-Probe laufe. "Nach ZDF-Informationen handelt es sich um ein Stimulanzmittel. Das können Mittel sein, die auch in Hustensäften sind, wie Ephedrin oder Pseudoephedrin. Aber auch Amphetamine."

Aren't these stimulants super easy to detect? If so, you'd have to be brain dead to use one at the olympics.

Now that´s funny. There are these high trained undedectable blood manipulated endurance athletes, and then they trip over such things like stimulants that polluted a chinese energy gel or steak. What an irony.
Not that I feel sorry, since Sachenbacher, like Contador for example, has been caught twice now...
