Just saw this! So sad to see...
So is this from the 2010 incidents, or is this a new finding? The site is in German and doesn't make a lot of sense...

Former pro cyclist Bernhard Kohl said that Weiss did blood transfusions at "Humanplasma" with him in 2005. The National Antidoping Commission cleared him in 2010 but the court decided otherwise.

Good call.

This really isn't much of a surprise. The only shocking thing here is how the triathlon community was so welcoming to this guy in spite of his previously tarnished reputation in cycling. In all of the hype surrounding this uber-biker there was very little reference to the doping allegations, which I always found somewhat strange.

This is not from anything that is remotely recent. NADA is a politically motivated agency and this development is in complete disagreement with a ruling by an Austrian state's attorney that exonerated Weiss weeks ago.

interesting characterization. his own country said their own guy didn't do anything wrong. but it is NADA (WADA?) that is politically motivated

hmmm

I'm just curious what you think anyone's motivation would be for falsely accusing Weiss of doping. He isn't that big of a deal.

well whether it was a good call or not would depend on whether he really did do blood transfusions or not.

we the public, at the moment, only know that Bernhard Kohl said he did.

if you know more details, fill us in =)

One option is that he doesn't like Weiss. Another is that he didn't want to be "the only one" (perceived culpability diminishes when there is the possibility of peer pressure).


I've no idea whether those are his motivations, but you asked what some might be.

so the question is - was Kohl's testimony the ONLY piece of evidence they had?

doubt it.
