In December, Simon Wulff had a forbidden substance. The B trial confirms the result.
In the doping case of the BOB slicher Simon Wulff, the stimulant methylhexanamine, banned in competitions, has also been demonstrated in the B trial. This was confirmed by Wulff’s lawyer Thomas Summerer of the Sächsische Zeitung . “It is still inexplicable to us what the source of contamination could be,” said Summerer. The substance often occurs in nutritional supplements that are used for extreme fat loss or muscle building.
At the 24-year-old swear of record world champion Francesco Friedrich, the substance, which is allowed in training, was demonstrated in a competition test from the World Cup opening on December 7th in Altenberg. As a precaution, the BOB and SCHLOTENBEIGE for Germany (BSD) had released Wulff from the sports company. At the World Cup in Lake Placid, Friedrich won gold in two and four without Wulff.
“Therefore, we are currently analyzing some nutritional supplements that my client has taken to track down relieving circumstances,” said Summerer. According to the lawyer, Wulff has to bear the costs for this, the World Association IBSF, which Wulff had not temporarily blocked Wulff.
Wulff caused a sensation as a slide
The ex-Sprinter Wulff had caused a sensation in the first World Cup weeks as a dispute by Friedrich. It is now extremely questionable whether he is part of the four -time Olympic champion at the 2026 Olympic Games in Cortina d’Ampezzo.
“I got to know Simon as a very integrated person and I wish him from the heart that he and his supporters succeed in finding the contamination source,” said BSD boss Thomas Schwab of the Sächsische Zeitung: “Only in this way he would have a chance to be there with the team of Francesco Friedrich at Olympia in Cortina.”
