The message crashed like a bomb. After taking Euro gold in cross-country in Lisbon in 2019, last week came the news that Fsiha is now suspended after allegations of doping. One of those who wondered about Fsiha's fast way to the top was the Norwegian runner Filip Ingebrigtsen who came twelve in the same championship.
- I checked the results lists. I think I beat him with over a minute 2018 in ten kilometers in the terrain European Championship. Then he hits me with more than a minute in 2019, Ingebrigtsen tells NRK and continues:
- It was something that had happened in a year. We asked the Swedish leaders after the race what had happened. Where did he come from and what he was doing? They said that he had trained well at height and then it turned out that he had not been in Sweden for six months.
Fsiha claims in an article in Expressen his innocence and says he has not doped.
