FIFPro to help pay skater Pechstein鈥檚 legal costs
INTERNATIONAL footballers’ union FIFPro pledged to help Germany’s most successful Winter Olympian pay legal costs in a doping case, and fueled a dispute with sport’s highest court.
FIFPro stepped in yesterday to help Claudia Pechstein, whose two-year ban for blood doping expired in 2011, and praised the five-time Olympic speedskating champion for showing “admirable patience and dedication”. It also attacked alleged unfairness at the Court of Arbitration of Sport, which in 2009 upheld an International Skating Union ruling that she was guilty. A German regional court ruled in January that Pechstein could go ahead with a compensation claim seeking 4.4 million euros (US$4.85 million) for lost income from the ISU, which has appealed to federal judges. The 43-year-old was also being financially helped by her former union and private donors, FIFPro said. Pechstein, who never failed a drug test, was banned because of irregular blood results. She has denied doping and insists her blood values are due to a genetic condition.
