Jenny Fransson is currently suspended after receiving a letter from the National Sports Federation on Thursday stating that she was tested positive for methyltestosterone, an anabolic steroid.
- She's not doing well right now, I can promise. She is from Norrbotten and I know her since she was little and started wrestling, but I have not been in contact with her after the message.
"Didn't take many minutes for me to put the cards on the table"Jenny Fransson has denied being drugged and tells DN that she thinks she has been subjected to sabotage. Tomas Johansson, on the other hand, pleaded guilty, which he admits was his rescue.
- I knew I had taken it. It didn't take many minutes after I got stuck until I put the cards on the table. It was horrible. You never thought you would come back. But thanks to acknowledging and putting all the cards on the table, I was able to come back.
Come back after switching offJohansson is adamant that he believes that honesty is a prerequisite for managing the situation in the best possible way. For Johansson, an 18-month suspension waited before returning and could win the World Cup gold.
- If you have taken it, life will probably be easier if you acknowledge what you have done. I got a second chance but still today you think daily about the mistake you made. But it's even more sad if Jenny says she doesn't know where it comes from.
If Jenny Fransson deliberately doped up, do you think there may be more involved?
- The Swedish Wrestling Association has nothing to do with this and neither of the other national team girls either. Had someone told me that she is doped I would not have believed it.
