Catching Up With Normann Stadler
Inside Triathlon has a Q&A with Ironman Hawaii winner Normann Stadler. Stadler was on his way to the Canary Islands to train on the bike with the T-Mobile cycling team.
He feels no sympathy for fellow German Nina Kraft, who was suspended for two years after Hawaii. "She knew before she got tested for the EPO. Now they say she is sick and mentally upset and cannot leave her home. I heard she stays inside all day and has not talked to people. But I do not feel sorry she feels this way. Not one percent. No. She took the drugs and she was cheating. ... The last thing I think about is taking drugs. I have maybe 5-6 years left in triathlon and I plan to live for the next 40-50 years."
