In the final phase of his great career lifework boxing champion Felix Sturm is about to collapse. The super middleweight champion of the WBA has been tested positive for doping. That told him the WBA, they say.
The urine sample had been taken in Oberhausen to the point victory against Russian titleholder Fedor Chudinov on February 20 this year. We analyzed the sample in the Cologne anti-doping laboratory. The result: storm had traces of the banned muscle preparation Stanozolol in urine
Storm denies to take the drug.. “I have been tested in my career 100 times, getting the results were negative,” he told the “Express”. In the “Bild am Sonntag” said the in 49 professional fights 40 times victorious pro: “I could go up wild theories about how the stuff has got into my body. But that brings me no further. “
” I’ll lawyers and let it open the B-sample “
The 37-year-old Cologne, who is several weeks in Sarajevo, as and the Association of German professional boxer (BDB) will only now have learned about the result. “The fact that after two months is such a message and to the BDB was not informed, how can that be? I’ll lawyers and let it open the B sample, “Sturm announced in” “on.
” That can not express. From the doping sample to result, it usually takes ten days. But now, almost two months have passed “, however, said Walter Wagner, federation doctor in BDB, the German press agency. “Doping is now a criminal offense. I wonder how lax dealt with it in BDB. “
Does anyone want to cover up the case?
Why so long after the incident is nothing penetrated to the public, astounded the scene , Question: Does anyone misappropriating the information in order to cover up the case? Wagner complained that he get any results for about five years over doping controls more: “Together with the Sauerland stable we launched in 1980 doping tests in life. Offenses we immediately punished. This has always worked. For five years, but no more. “
BDB President Thomas Pütz assured that it was not until last Friday of the result. “Felix had an elbow injury. It may be natural that the substance was contained in the drugs that he had to take, “Puetz said. The substance 3-Hydroxystanozolol will used in bodybuilding area. “But when it comes to endurance and responsiveness as in boxing, does not help this stuff. Why should take the Felix Sturm “asked Puetz
BDB president.” For us, the presumption of innocence “
true The BDB president wants storm opinion and the opening of the B- sample wait. “For us, the presumption of innocence applies. I do not think he has deliberately taken something. “The World Association WBA is storm but know the title and expected to terminate him for two years. In BDB the maximum penalty for doping offenders is a maximum of one year. Whether in the case of storm is ever exhausted, is not certain. This could storm after serving several months lock at least fight in Germany again.
However, the BDB has the European Union EBU report the case. This would be like the WBA impose a two-year ban. Thus likely potential opponents such as Arthur Abraham, two years not compete against the milder punished in Germany Sturm. The career-end of the once great Felix Sturm so imminent
