Neureuther criticism: “And then you’re a Terminator, or what?”

“You're at a loss for words, you can't believe it,” said the ski star, when asked about the doping quake that has shaken winter sports in recent weeks. “In the documentary, Johannes Dürr presents himself as a purified person, so that you even feel sorry for him. And in the end, he continues just as before.” Dürr got the ball rolling with a confession in an ARD documentary in January, and a little later it came to light that the confessed doping offender continued to dope even after his conviction in 2014.

Neureuther is absolutely terrified of a common doping method, blood doping. “Above all, I can't imagine how there's a bag of blood hanging there and then you pump it back into yourself. This blood is stored somewhere else for weeks, you don't even know whether it's actually yours, and then you push it back in and suddenly you're a Terminator, or what?"

“When skiing, you can’t say you’re doping now and then you’ll ski a second faster.” Felix Neureuther Neureuther is delighted that skiing is so technical. “When skiing, you can't say, you're doping now, then you'll ski a second faster.” The presenter wanted to know whether it might be useful for faster regeneration. “So now I’m talking about the slalom. If you see what physical condition I am in, then others can do it too. Then there is no need for doping.” Criticism of the IOC Neureuther also reiterated his criticism of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in the broadcast. “They force so many things on the organizer,” said the German. This is why the population of many predestined winter sports resorts such as Tyrol are voting against hosting the Olympic Games. “I don’t know whether the IOC is aware of what’s happening,” said Neureuther, adding: “A lot has gone wrong.”
