The Finnish police said Monday that the so-called STT doping case would proceed to the consideration of charges stage and confirmed that there were six suspects.
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) launched the inquiry last year after Kari-Pekka Kyrö, a former head coach of the Finnish cross-country team, said that “a systematic doping culture” had prevailed in the Finnish Ski Association with the consent of the top brass of the governing body.
“The case will proceed to the prosecution in due course, there is absolutely no doubt about that,” Chief Inspector Pauli Huuskonen, the head of the investigation at the NBI, told the Finnish News Agency (STT) late on Monday.
