The message that Jenny Fransson has been tested positive for doping came on Monday, which DN was the first to report. It is the anabolic steroid methyl testosterone.
- Within that group the most common doping substance today, says Arne Ljungqvist to SVT Sport.
According to SOK press officer Lars Markusson, Fransson will take a timeout from the Olympic squad and from their top and talent programs. What happens next is still unclear. But Arne Ljungqvist thinks she will receive some form of punishment, but what it will be depends on what debt she herself is judged to have.
- Steroid cases usually always lead to some form of punishment. It is the degree of innocence that determines it all. The case you can almost compare with is Therese Johaug and she was suspended for 18 months. But each case is judged on its own grounds, so it is difficult to speculate on what it might be for her, he says.
According to DN, it should be a very small amount of the substance that she has shown to have in her.
- What is decisive is whether there is or not, concentration is not relevant. It may be small, but it depends on when the dose was then administered to the body. That goes out of the body afterwards, so there is nothing to say about how much has come in, so to speak.
