After doping revelations: Dingebacher-Stehle wants peace

“I don’t know if I wanted to rehash the whole thing. The whole thing cost me so much energy, it was a really shitty time. “I’m glad that I was able to complete this for myself,” said the 39-year-old German press agency about her doping ban after the 2014 Olympics. She also doesn't know whether she could even take legal action. According to excerpts from Grigory Rodchenkov's book ("The Rodchenkov Affair"), which is published this Thursday, According to Dingebacher-Stehle, Russian fraud at the 2014 Winter Olympics was their undoing. “The first victim was the German athlete Evi Dingebacher-Stehle,” writes the Russian. After a race she had a small amount of methylhexanamine in her urine; her case was borderline. But in order to prove the functionality of his Russian laboratory, in which, according to the McLaren report, positive Russian doping samples were covered up, Rodchenkov reported the case. Dingebacher-Stehle was banned for two years by the IBU World Biathlon Association, and the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) reduced the sentence to six months. Dingebacher-Stehle explained the positive test by ingesting contaminated tea powder. According to the WADA code, athletes are responsible for the substances they take. “It is currently difficult for us to assess the extent to which the case or certain measurement and limit values need to be reassessed. “It was and is undisputed that Evi never acted with conscious and fraudulent intent,” said Stefan Schwarzbach, head of communications at the German Ski Association dpa . But her negligence at the time is just as undisputed: “Taking the nutritional supplement was a mistake for which Evi unfortunately had to pay dearly in the end with the end of her career.”
