Victoria Carl Doping: Cough Syrup & Sport Scandal

After their positive doping test, the long runner Victoria Carl and the German Ski Association hope for an acquittal. But that should be a difficult undertaking. Because the 29-year-old’s argument has a central weakness.

Victoria Carl completed fifty cross-country trails through the Finnish forests in Lahti on March 23 at the end of the Nordic World Cup season, the best of her career. Then the cross -country winter for most athletes was over. But while some colleagues broke into the sun, Victoria Carl, 29, traveled to Switzerland by profession: to the 5th winter military games of the international association CISM in Lucerne. One, according to the situation of things, fateful detour.
