MAJOR: Olympian Receives Four-Year Ban for Doping
Today a former Olympian and brother of a long-time NHLer has gotten a major ban for doping.
Olympian Faces Major Suspension For Doping
Today it was announced that Olympian and professional hockey player Yannic Seidenberg has been suspended for 4 years for doping.
Former #Eishockey national player Yannic Seidenberg has been banned for four years by the German Court of Arbitration for Doping. He can now go to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Seidenberg will now be unable to represent his country for the next four years. It remains unknown if he will face discipline from his club team or professional league.
Seidenberg's Career Could Be Coming To An End After Doping Ban
With this ban coming from the German Court of Arbitration for Doping it stands to reason he would also be banned from German league competition. The 36-year-old is currently rostered with EHC Munchen in the DEL. However, he has not played a game for the team this season.
If this is indeed the end for Seidenberg he will have racked up 954 DEL games with 468 points. In the Olympics, he played 7 games and recorded 1 point. He had a bit more success at the World Championships with 18 points in 63 games.
Seidenberg will now likely disappear from the German hockey scene and enjoy retirement after this latest suspension.
