In the case of the case-Johaug came overseas heavy declarations like boulders. Travis Tygart, lawyer and director of the American anti-doping agency, has been released by him, and has become famous for playing the role of "great inquisitor" for Lance Armstrong, making him the capitol's head by forcing him to admit the use of systematic doping.

It is precisely the uncompromising line of American forty-six to make very interesting the words collected by issuer Nrk.
Usa's No. 1 did not use half-time, firing at zero against FIS for the behavior he had with the Norwegian fundraiser.
"The resort is a waste of time and money. Above all, it is unfair to an athlete who has already paid enough.
There is clearly something that does not come back. On the one hand, there is the case of Therese, where Fis thinks it's too bland a 13-month disqualification because the athlete used a drug that probably does not bring any benefit to the performance. On the other hand there is an organized state doping system, that of Russia, created with the clear will to illegally improve the performance of athletes, towards which FIS has not yet taken tangible initiatives.
It seems that the FIS is looking for something different from getting justice for clean athletes. What I do not know is, but choosing to resort to 13 months of disqualification, demanding a tougher sanction, is not based on justice.
I can not understand whether there are political reasons or even personal revenge. Proper interpretation of the rules indicates that a 13-month sanction is adequate, if not excessive.
Above all, I believe that the demand for more severe punishment is a self-motivating move. In this way the antidoping system is delegitimed in the eyes of the athletes, whose task should not be to persecute as many as possible who is wrong but to work on doping prevention. "
No official response from FIS. The only words came from lawyer Stephan Neztle, who represented him in Lausanne in the Johaug case: "The only goal of the international federation is to enforce the rules and ensure fair competition for everyone."
