Doping sinner Hauke sentenced to suspended sentence

The 27-year-old was also sentenced to a fine of 480 euros. The judge viewed his remorse, his integrity and the partial repayment of the damage as mitigating factors. “In addition, the consequences of the crime are devastating for you.” Wednesday’s verdict is not yet final.

The 27-year-old admitted to the jury that he had taken both growth hormone and blood doping. However, Hauke disputed the amount of damage assumed by the public prosecutor to be over 50 euros. The prosecution accused him of violating anti-doping rules since the 000/2015 season. He is therefore said to have wrongly received prize money and sponsorship services of over 16 euros.

Caught in action Hauke's defense attorney said his client never had any intention of causing harm, but "just wanted to go cross-country skiing." He also only did blood doping with a view to the Nordic World Ski Championships in Seefeld. “He did it for his last World Cup, because he wanted to be good.” The lawyer described the video published of Hauke’s arrest as “one of the biggest judicial scandals in recent years.”

Hauke explained that since 2016 he had paid a German sports doctor 10 euros per season for treatment with his own blood. The money was handed over in cash at various meetings. Hauke stated that his code name on the blood bags was “Moritz”. He did the blood doping solely because of the home World Cup in Seefeld. “I knew I had talent and I believed what I was missing at the top was doping.” Hauke was caught red-handed returning blood during “Operation Aderlass” at the home World Cup at the end of February.
