The thing is, apart from Poltoranin these athletes are not even close to podium spots. Shows very well how dirty the sport still must be. And its not like Hauke wasn't a good junior for example. There he was pretty much on par with guys like Toenseth and more. He was considered to be the biggest Austrian talent for some years, but severely struggled to keep up with World Cup pace. He kind off had his "break-through" last year with achieving World Cup point two or three times. But its not like he is even a top 30 athlete. And considering blood doping is a real game changer i fear we are as far away from clean sports as at Muehlegg/Lahti times.
That said, even these amateurish approach with a single doctor in Germany (ex-Milram doctor M. Schmidt to whom Kohl lost a lawsuit for calling him a "doping-doctor") administering the substances would not have produced a positive test, if it was not for the information from Dürr who most likely had some bad feelings against the Austrian Skiing Federation who ignored his comeback (with very weak results). Kind of a strange, though, that if they had nominated Dürr for the World Championships, probably nothing would have happened.
