In an interview with the press, the athlete commented that he had received the subpoena and that he is still in shock with the information: “This means that I can start a cyclocross race again on February 16, 2024, at the latest. But I want to keep proving my innocence. This is a very severe punishment for someone who can say with a clear conscience that he is not a doping sinner.”
