I was a bit confused by the article as it says that Evi Sachenbacher
was caught for doping at the Turin Olympics. I just thought she was one
of several athletes given s short 5 day ban because their hemoglobin
levels were too high. I haven't heard that she was caught doping since
then. However if what the article says is true then it casts a big
cloud over the whole German team. Like you I hope it isn't true.

I never heard the outcome of what happened to the Austria team after
they got raided by the italian police at Turin. My sources say their
team quarters resembled a clinical laboratory.

All very sad, it is the sort of thing that will drive people away from
sport if they believe that most athletes are cheating.
