This is confirmed by the Spanish ski president, Eduaro Roldan, who according to the Spanish newspaper Marca, says that Muehlegg has notified him that he no longer wants to train and race to represent Spain. Muehlegg demands and conditions were not met in talks with the Spanish ski federation, and this is supposed to be the reason why the doping convicted German-Spaniard now is giving up international racing.</p>
<p>Muehlegg was caught for using dope during the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, and was afterwards stripped of the three gold medals he captured there. His two year’s suspension expired last February and Muehlegg had earlier talked about a comeback ahead of this season.</p>
<p>According to Swedish Skidsport.com Johan Muehlegg brother and manager Martin Muhlegg tells that that Johan’s career is over, but that he is training on his own and might participate in some marathon races this season.</p>
