Dürr attacks the anti-doping agency: “Pretending that it is clean sport”

“The addictions are total nonsense. The associations are dependent on Wada and vice versa. And what is the interest? That there are as few positive tests as possible. Nobody benefits if 100 athletes are exposed because then nobody is interested in the sport anymore. From my point of view, this is a game that is supposed to make the world believe that it is about clean sport. “It’s all about money,” said Dürr in an interview Spiegel Online . After doping confession: hostility from competitive athletes Dürr is not concerned with pointing the finger at individual people, “the problem lies in the system as such, in which I have become a perpetrator. Part of it is WADA,” said Dürr. After the 31-year-old received predominantly positive feedback from the public following his confession in the ARD film “The Greed for Gold - The Way into the Doping Trap”, his statements were not well received by some colleagues. “Within the competitive sports bubble, I experience hostility that really bothers me. “It’s not a good feeling to be portrayed as a traitor,” said Dürr. “I find such statements sad and hypocritical.” Johannes Dürr about the German cross-country skiers Dobler and Bögl Dürr called the subsequent statements by German cross-country skiers Jonas Dobler and Lucas Bögl, who accused the Austrian of placing all cross-country skiers under general suspicion, “sad and hypocritical. It’s pointing at a single black sheep and pretending that if you remove the individual perpetrator, the problem will go away.” Dürr, who was convicted in 2014 and has a son with Miriam Taschler from Antholz, admitted doping with EPO and growth hormone as well as autologous blood doping and explained that the leap to the top of the world would not have been possible without the abuse.
