Heinz Jungwirth Quotations

We have protested against the way the controls were done. I personally spoke to the president (Jacques Rogge) of the IOC this morning.

We're here in order to protect the athletes. We raised an objection with the IOC and will proceed against this with all means at our disposal.

If they suddenly leave like that they don't seem to be very interested in taking part.

For us the International Olympic Committee rules are clear. What Mayer did was illegal.

If we sit back and don't do anything, and let it go on, of course the bid will be harmed.

If we are cocking up this case and are not clarifying the facts completely, this will end badly for Austria.

There is great need for action, the pressure from the IOC is enormous.

He's a free person. We have no moral obligation to keep him away from here. As far as we're concerned, he's a tourist.

We don't suspect any person in particular. But there must have been someone who handled these materials.

We had to wait for the test results for five days and it's natural that the wildest rumors appeared.

We are very happy that at the end of these days, it turns out there is no doping.

I see this press conference as a concession to us because normally negative results are not commented on.

These were the best Games ever for us, we mustn't forget that, and I want to congratulate our athletes for that.

People are thinking about punishing us, even about banning us. We want to avoid that. The damage of a ban would be impossible to make good again.

People are thinking about punishing us, even about banning us.

Austria has great relations with the IOC. We don't want to put anything under the table.

There's a storm brewing at the IOC. Whether the doping tests are positive or negative doesn't matter. There was equipment found that was clearly not allowed, including equipment for blood transfusions.

It was a general lashing out by someone who has had a lot of pressure over the past days ... when you are nervous you say a lot of things you don't mean to.

The IOC is feeling as if Austria is taking the piss out of them. After the doping affair (at the 2002 Winter Olympics) in Salt Lake City, the same thing happened again, with the same people and the same equipment.

I fully think and believe that they are completely, as we call it, clean.
