Mystery doper "K" uncovered? #cycling
Strange days indeed. Most dopers get caught out, named and shamed. But others get caught, tell all, do a deal and remain nameless: The Austrian cyclist arrested in March for dealing in doping products has admitted to using doping products and also giving them to five or six colleagues and friends. However, he denied making any financial profit on the dealings. The rider’s name has never been publicly released and he has officially been identified only as “K”. However, the Austrian Continental team RV ARBÖ Wels Gourmetfein announced that it had cancelled its contract with Christof Kerschbaum, whom it said was “in all probability” the rider involved..
It’s all a bit unfair if it isn’t Kerschbaum, of course. And I for one don’t know who the heck “K” might be…
