Doping in XC skiing

[Vino attacks everyone]

luckily pretty much every german suck atm, so we don't loose 1 of the entertaining skiers

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

So the entire group gets disqualified right (resultwise)?

aye, if 1 of them is taken, but they fell so no medals anyways

Perhaps Boehler? She has been pretty good so far, and this is the first time in years i've seen her anywhere near decent

 

[neineinei]

According to zdfsport the athlete is from a sport in Deutscher Skiverband. They are governing Alpine skiing, Biathlon, Cross-country skiing, Freestyle skiing, Nordic combined, Skicross, and Ski jumping.

i am 99% sure the positive does not belong to any german from the xc team sprint

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

it seems as it is three posotive tests now§

Could be a biathlete.

Bei dem Mittel soll es sich um ein Stimulans handeln

What does ein Stimulans mean?

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

 

[Bavarianrider]

There are currently two rumors floating around. Sachenbacher or Henkel

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.

Dombracheva and Kramer

Dombracheva and Kramer

Now Kramer would be really interesting. Earthquake.

Dom would do very little damage imo, just removed and the sport continues.

ok, Forcade or Svendsen

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.

Now that will hurt.

 

[sniper]

its sachenbacher

 

[Bavarianrider]

Well geting busted twice during two different olympics is some sort of a sucess, too. Not too many have accomplished such a feat.

 

[neineinei]

Sachenbacher-Stehle is being named in the German press now.

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.

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.

he thinks it's similar to turin when his sis sat out for high haemoglobin...

if the reports about a doping agent being a stimulant were correct, he does not make much sense. he talks of a b sample proving it. he probably does not know (or spins) that a health check for haemoglobin (then and now), unlike an anti-doping test, does not involve a and b samples.

 

[The Hitch]

Oh noes, Germany may have to drop this evil dirty sport biathlon now like they did with cycling and instead put even more energy into the great clean sport - football

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Sachenbacher has actually been underperforming here in Sochi compared to normal skiing times in the world cup. Kind of weird she's the one who gets busted... Hope the b-sample will be negative

 

[Tyler'sTwin]

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.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

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...
