Will soon launch an application for an injunction against the exclusion of the five-time Olympic gold medalist from the official training organization.
The decree must be translated into English and is expected to run later this week to the CAS in Lausanne, said Pechstein’s lawyer Simon Bergmann on Wednesday.
The 37-year-old graduated in his words, being primarily training on the bike and on rollers. The German speed skating community had indicated on Monday that Pechstein can no longer participate in activities of the association. This is based on the code of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Without ice training reduced the chances of an Olympic participation in 2010 in Vancouver, but is already at a minimum. The International Skating Union (ISU) was blocked due to striking Pechstein blood levels during the World Cup in February in Hamar for two years. A positive doping test does not exist. Pechstein had denied doping again on Monday and will shortly hold a press conference.
