SEEFELD (Dagbladet): at the Top of the Petter Northugs blacklist is a 31-year-old østerriker. His name is Johannes Dürr, beaten Northug up monsterbakken in Val di Fiemme and stole the first the last pallplassen in the Tour de Ski from Mosvik express in 2013/14.
After the incredible stage he said that he would “destroy Northug”. It was not so smart. When the answer to dopingprøven came, was the statement even dumber. Dürr tested positive for EPO and was banned from langrennssporten.
He is banned for life with us, but dopingdommen is the of two years. I fear that he is going to appeal the exclusion and require to get startlisens, said austria’s sportssjef Markus Gander at the time.
Northug gave an even clearer signal to the Dürr:

– I Get to see him in langrennsløypa again, I’m going to hit him knockout. I think unlikely he will start anywhere as long as I’m on the starting line. It should he does, said a threatening Petter Northug to the Newspaper.
a Long time has passed since that time. Dürr has tried to make a comeback, but came never to the world cup on home soil in Seefeld.
I thought Northug was a smart boy
Now letter Dürr at length on the veil about what he thinks about the threats from Petter Northug. In an extensive interview with Expressen despairs over the situation.
– I have seen what pete has said. I thought Petter was a smart boy, but… I don’t understand how he thinks. Why he hates me so much? ask the Manufacturer, to Expressen.
I have never made him anything. On the contrary, I have only talked warmly about Pete. He was one of my idols. It is so odd.

Petter Northug has not answered Dagbladet inquiries Sunday, but have taken responsibility and for several years advocated a clear message to those who dops conscious:
“Get them away from the sport”, is of the essence.
like Dürr has also the former EPO judge Natalya Matvejeva, which competes in the world CHAMPIONSHIPS in Seefeld, got place something similar from Northug.
– When one is caught for EPO, a person must have severe penalties. EPO is cheating at a high level. Have you taken EPO, you should never get to compete at this level again, ” said Northug after the world cup sprint in Lahti 2017.
Pulls in sundby’s time
Dürr is still provided – and draws a parallel to how Northug stated in astmasaken to Martin Johnsrud sundby’s time.
– Northug had no problems with sundby’s time when he was sentenced. But it is clear, when sundby’s time was disqualified, so did the Northug sammenlagtseieren in the Tour de Ski. It was perhaps why he has not complained, to speculate the EPO ruled the austrian.
It must be clearly emphasized that there is a huge difference on the issues to Dürr and sundby’s time, as the austrian compares itself with.
Dürr was sentenced for abuse of EPO, which with today’s straffesatser will provide four-year ban. Sundby’s time was banned for two months for having violated the dopingreglementet, through the improper use of the legal asthma medication Ventoline.

the Austrian compares in the Expressen interview also with Johaugs case.
Here there are also large differences, all the time, Dürr was convicted for knowingly dopingbruk, something he himself has admitted, where the judicial instance, i.e. the CAS, concluded that they believe in Johaugs version that she got in the banned substance clostebol accidentally.
Nonetheless, says Dürr:
– You’re not just suspected about the man is Norwegian, as opposed to austrian. In Norway are born with skis on their feet. It is natural to be good at skiing if you come from there. About a østerriker is good at skiing, it’s unnatural, and one is suspected, even if we have fantastic conditions to be good here also, believe Dürr.
