Ulla Salzgeber Cleared of Doping Charges!?
July 4, 2003
 The
"doping drama" concerning Ulla Salzgeber's
Rusty has probably already come to an end, before a
trial date has been set by the judicial commission of
the FEI. Salzgeber's Swiss lawyer Ulf Walz is sure that
his client will not be sentenced. "The documents
that I have do not prove that Rusty's blood test, taken
at the World Cup Finals in Goteborg, exceeds the threshold
level of testosterone," Walz explained.
According to the veterinarians of the University of
Zurich significant features, proving that the blood
sample contained more than 20 nanograms testosterone
per millimeter, are missing.
Yesterday, Ulla Salzgeber demanded the results of the
B-analysis of the Goteborg doping test, but it is uncertain
that they will be presented. Lawyer Walz is determined
that the charges against his client are unjustly "Many
of the doping charges will not be prosecuted just on
formal grounds. This has been the biggest scandal in
equestrian history," Walz stated.
Salzgeber will, therefore, be cleared of all charges,
she will get her World Cup Title back she will compete
at the European Championships in Hickstead and qualify
for the Olympic Games in Athens.
