- A second expert examination at a laboratory in Cologne showed that a supplement he had been taking (Peruvat) contained nandrolone, which was not in the labelled ingredients.
- This did not affect his doping ban, as the rules apply strict athlete liability, but he vowed to seek compensation from the manufacturer.
