Jockette Sibylle Vogt from Switzerland was closed for six months after a curious doping case.
After traces of cocaine had already been found in a check of the 30-year-olds in March, she provided an extraordinary explanation: the result had come about through sexual intercourse with a person who had previously consumed the forbidden substance.
The French Association nevertheless blocked it retrospectively from May 25th, and the B sample had also resulted in a positive result. The result of the rehearsal is “not contested and explained by the jockey with considerations of her private life,” said the association’s statement.
Vogt had given up her own explanation of the case in July and admitted not to be completely innocent due to a lack of caution. Her partner admitted cocaine consumption that the rider did not know about it before.
The case is reminiscent of the curiosity around the French tennis professional Richard Gasquet. In 2009, cocaine was found in its urine, but the hair analysis remained without finding. Gasquet led to a comprehensible manner that cocaine was in circulation at a party he attended. The lock was subsequently reduced from one year to two and a half months.
