Kowalczyks sour message to the Norwegian cross-country skiing

Justyna Kowalczyk send a new acidic twinge to the Norwegian cross-country skiing after the Norwegian ski federation yesterday decided to send out a press release about hormonbehandlingen as stortalentene Helene Marie Fossesholm and Kristine Stavås Skistad got in the teenage years, completely independent of each other.

That Skiforbundet disclose this private and sensitive matter in an orderly way, is a result of a rumour-mongering that has lasted over several years in langrennsmiljøet about Fossesholms necessary hormone therapy and after each the questions involved have received in that way.

By complete transparency before the big breakthrough on the seniornivå, prevents Skiforbundet that the information will be misunderstood and turned the wrong up, which still took place in the restoration from Expressen yesterday.

Kowalczyks insert

In a Twitter post relay Kowalczyk said Expressen-the thing about themes - with an approach that Dagbladet commentator Esten O. Sæther react strongly - and comes with a new acidic twinge to the Norwegian cross-country skiing.

- This is our juniorrival. She wins all the competitions that she will. She was treated with growth hormones. Eh, these diseases, type Kowalczyk , a former world number in cross country and now national team manager in Poland.

Then follow her up with a new post:

- Have no any sporting effect

- Correction: The two best Norwegian juniorløperne have used growth hormones. The other was no. 5 in a verdenscuprenn in Lillehammer, norway, writes the Polish star, and aiming to Stavås Skistads verdenscupdebut.

the Statements shows how biased journalism - as Dagbladet commentator took a settlement with the yesterday - color a picture of the Norwegian cross-country skiing outside the country's borders that is not a reflection of reality.

Dagbladet says the coach Vidar Løfshus that he did not want to comment on the Kowalczyks initiatives, but adds:

- These are girls who have been follow-up of the Norwegian health care system to get a normal life as an adult, and it has nothing to do with sport to do, points out Løfshus.

No sporty effect

Treatment to ensure a normal growth, as the leader of the medical shatters a towns " culture of anti-doping Norway, Per Medbøe Thorsby, said to Dagbladet yesterday, no sporty effect. Also the world's best soccer player Lionel Messi received the veksthormonbehandling to get normal growth in the teenage years.

Still uses Kowalczyk yesterday's press release to talk down the Norwegian cross-country yet again. For several years she attacked arch-rival Marit Bjørgen and her astmamedisinering.

Sour twinge she sent also in the direction Therese Johaug after the positive dopingprøven. The Polish star godtet on Johaugs expense and wrote at the time that she enjoyed with popcorn when she accompanied the Norwegian girl's tragedy.

- What do you think about the she sent to you when you suffered the most, Therese?

It gets Kowalczyk even stand for. I've not done anything with it and can't focus on it. I knew that there would be a part negatively in the light of this case, but also that many would support me. Fortunately it has been far the most support, " said Johaug to Dagbladet in the spring.

Confirms hormone therapy to drop dopingmistanker

I have not spoke with Kowalczyk about this case. I have not talked to her at all since the last time we competed together in 2016.

Therefore, Kowalczyk bitter

the Question is why Kowalczyk is so keen to send the sting to the Norwegian cross-country skiing?

Himself has not, she answered Dagbladet inquiries, but key people around the Kowalczyk that Dagbladet has talked with, says that the combination of sovereign Norwegian results, the information that has come out of the English idrettsmedisinering in the light of the Kowalczyks own earlier dopingdom, is of the essence.

Kowalczyk tested in 2005 in a positive anti-inflammatory Dexamethason in 2005. The Normal ban is two years for this drug. 35-year-old had a simplified medical exemption (TUE) from their doctor for the treatment of an inflammation of the akillesen, but the age is not the Wada requirements for ordinary medical exemption.

Therefore, she received a two-year long ban of the FIS' dopingpanel, a judgment she appealed to the CAS, because she believed the banned list of misinterpreted and because she had a doctor's certificate. Kowalczyk, however, was met with the same phrases about the practitioner's own responsibility as was the central message in the affairs of Johaug and Martin Johnsrud sundby's time.

Hormonnyheten: So bad that this must be the Swedish in Particular outcomes

Still halved our FIS the judgment three weeks later, because they had interpreted the banned list wrong, something WADA pointed out. When the thought Kowalczyk that she was entitled to a new hearing to promote the mitigating circumstances, the FIS felt was unnecessary, as these were considered in the previous consultation.

When the case shall come up in CAS, they went hard out against the FIS and it was clear that Kowalczyk obvious were entitled to get the judgment reduced due to the aforementioned extenuating circumstances. When judgment finally fell in CAS, however, had the Polish profile has already been banned in 10,5 months. Then decided the CAS that accurate they 10,5 months she had already served a prison was the correct punishment.

Kowalczyk, the Polish camp, and several experts believe that the punishment had been lower if the verdict had come before, that a 10.5-month ban was punishment because she had already spent it when judgment came. This has contributed to the 35-åringens bitterness and the need to discredit the Norwegian sports medisinbruk. She also had to live with an undeserved stamp in several seasons.

Johaug-statement creates full of confusion: Now answer Kowalczyk
