Jenny Fransson comes from Öjebyn, but competes for Gällivare SK where Karl-Erik Taivalsaari is the vice-chairman and responsible for the elite wrestling and he was therefore deeply shocked when he heard the news.
- I had no idea. My brother called. He said: Have you seen what the media says about Jenny Fransson doping. Then I got information from my chairman. But it is apparently the A-test that has produced results and now we are waiting for the B-test, he says.
"No need to dope"
Karl-Erik Taivalsaari thinks it is strange that Jenny Fransson got stuck in a doping check given her physical status and world ranking.
- Jenny is the second world champion and is now waiting to go to the Olympics and she has gone really well. She is our most physically strong girl so there is no reason in the world for her to dope. There is no logic behind it, nothing. But call tomorrow, then I probably know more about what happened.
