Norwegian Dagbladet Magazine columnist Esten O. Sæther, Finland’s loss of success in World Cup cross-country skiing is a sign of the purity in the sport.
– I see it as a healthy sign of the cross-country skiers from Sweden and Norway dominating, Sæther says to the Swedish Journal Express.
In World Championship Cross-country skiing 11 gold medals of the 12 possible ended in Falun, either with Sweden or Norway.
– The Norwegian-Swedish dominance and German wins mean that the public following the sport and the markets do not tolerate the use of doping, Sæther writes in his column .
The Norwegian columnist mentions in the article other countries – such as Finland – the dark history of doping.
– Systematic doping in international cross-country skiing has traditionally been only in Russia, Finland, Italy and Austria, Sæther says.
Instead, Sweden and Norway, were pristine.
– In Sweden and Norway, there is no systematic doping use. And it never has been.
