German doctor jailed for almost five years for blood doping
German sports doctor Mark S., accused of masterminding an international doping network in cycling and winter sports, waits for the verdict in his trial at the Regional Court (Landgericht) in Munich
BERLIN (Reuters) – A Munich court on Friday sentenced a German sports doctor to four years and 10 months in prison for masterminding an international network helping athletes with blood doping for years.
The case arose from “Operation Bloodletting” under which police raided the Nordic Ski World Championships in Austria in February 2019 and arrested athletes hours before an event.
The defendant, identified only as Mark S, was found guilty on two dozen charges linked to helping at least 23 athletes from eight countries gain an unfair advantage via performance-enhancing blood transfusions.
