These are the words of the master of the last three seasons: & ldquo; Everything & egrave; started ten days the end of the Tour de Ski 2015. I was training when the doctor of our team called me. He told me that I had been found twice with a dose of salbutamol greater than the allowable limit. L & igrave; for & igrave; I & egrave; the world collapsed on me, I could not understand how it was possible, I have never taken any medication in my life that I have not been prescribed & rdquo ;. The case seemed closed when the FIS has accepted his motives, but you & egrave; later discovered that & rsquo; interpretation of & rsquo; entire Norwegian medical team did not coincide with that of WADA. From that day & egrave; unleashed a long process that led to the well known conclusions. Sundby continues: & ldquo; I competed in the 2015-16 conscious that he was innocent and that he was acquitted by the FIS. When I learned of & rsquo; appeal requested by WADA, I thought it was only a formality & agrave ;. The verdict, according to me, & egrave; unreasonable, I know that you have not done anything wrong and I am happy that you are taking the responsibility Skiforbundet & agrave; of this story & rdquo ;. The 31 year old does not d & agrave; Peace: & ldquo; I'm living a & rsquo; surreal experience, a nightmare, also because & eacute; all absolutely unexpected. The thing that makes me more & ugrave; Fear & egrave; to be remembered in the future to be a doped athlete. I hope and pray everyone will treat this matter to consider each element & rdquo ;. Despite everything, the Sundby programs are focused on world Lahti: & ldquo; I hope to emerge as I have done so far and to win a medal because of my quality & agrave; the cross-country skier. On behalf of my colleagues I have received a lot of messages of support and this gives me & agrave; confidence for the future & rdquo ;. & Nbsp; & Nbsp;
