The news was sent by the German Anti-Doping Agency and confirmed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), specifying that the cyclist could be absent from the sport for four years if he is unable to explain the origin of the substance in his tests. If he manages to provide evidence about what happened, he could only be away for two years.

“Sample B confirmed the result of sample A. According to the Anti-Doping Rules of the German Cycling Federation, there is sufficient evidence of an anti-doping rule violation,” explained Eva Bunthoff of Germany’s national anti-doping body when discussing the subject on Jeremy Whittle’s Radio Cycling podcast.
Previously, when the information was released, his current team Jumbo-Visma declared that the cyclist would be provisionally suspended for having presented a positive result in the anti-doping test carried out in one of the team’s unofficial competitions, on June 14.
After the announcement, German authorities carried out a search and seizure at Michel Hessmann’s home and did not find any substance or medicine that could link the athlete to doping. When contacted by the press, the cyclist did not make any official comments.
