Thomas Platzer

Thomas Platzer (* 1969 ( 1970 ?)) Is a former German skeleton driver .

Thomas Platzer was one of the most successful German skeleton pilots of the 1990s. He achieved his greatest successes in the first half of the decade when he won the German championship title in 1990 and 1991 and in 1992 took second place. He took part in skeleton world championships three times from 1990 to 1993 and always achieved placements in the top ten. At the Königssee artificial ice rink , he narrowly missed a medal in 1990 when he finished fourth. He achieved the same placement in the 1992 Skeleton World Cup in the same place and thus also his best result in this competition. On November 1, 2002, Platzer was positive for Stanazol during an unannounced doping testtested and then banned by the German association for one year nationally and two years internationally. He then ended his career and moved up to the staff of the association in 2004, where he is responsible for material issues.
