Petter Northug is a rider who has always worked hard for those who doped. Among other things, he has threatened to knock Johannes Dürr if, after his doping suspension, he would ever set out to start a race again.

Days after Max Hauke ​​spoke out in Expressen about his systematic doping, Northug tells the magazine that he believes there will be doped riders in the World Cup premiere in Ruka.

- Yes, I think so. Throughout my career, I have competed against riders who were later taken for doping. There will always be those who try to cheat, those who try to take a shortcut.

Hauke's suggestion that Sweden and several other countries should take after Austria and criminalize doping is something Northug likes.

- It is easier for the police to make the house search, easier to hit suspicious places where ordinary doping commissions could not do anything. It had made the sport and the riders safer, he tells Expressen.
