Helfried Jurtschitsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helfried Jurtschitsch (born July 17, 1971 in St. Pölten ; after marriage to Helfried Hochmiller ) is a former Austrian rower .

In 1999, Jurtschitsch was a co-founder and long-time chairman of the Wasser Sportunion Wachau in Dürnstein .

Career

He reached at the 1991 World Championships and 1992 in lightweight - eight each sixth. At the World Championships in 1994 and 1995 , ninth places followed in the lightweight four without a helmsman . In 1998 he finished seventh in the lightweight double scull. At the World Championships in 1998 and 1999 , he was back in the lightweight four-man without a helmsman, who rowed in fifth place. In 2000 he achieved the overall World Cup victory , sixth place in the lightweight double foursome at the World Championships and ninth place in the lightweight four-man without helmsman at the Olympic Games in Sydney.

Doping case

In 2003, Jurtschitsch, like his teammates Martin Kobau and Norbert Lambing, tested positive for nandrolone in a doping test and was banned for six months. The ingestion of the contaminated food supplement “Mega Ribosyn 1100” was found to be the cause . The drug in question was previously tested as harmless by the Austrian doping laboratory Seibersdorf. The responsible FISA commission also found that Jurtschitsch, Lambing and Kobau had not acted with the aim of improving performance and found no negligence in their actions. When discussing the 6-month ban, however, the commission relied on the principle of athletes being responsible for their own bodies and the existing risk of an increase in dietary supplements, even when taking the greatest precautionary measures.
