Description:	Former Finnish trainer Kari-Pekka Kyrö has revealed new information in the drug scandal in connection with the skiing World Championships in Lahti. To the tv-channel Yle he says that Finland and Russia had a common "doping-program". Kari-Pekka Kyrö delivered another bomb when he claimed that the Finns used the drugs in Lahti World Cup 2001 in all its forms. And that there was an internal circuit in doping, which covered a dozen people. Core team should have consisted of skileaders as well as active. Kyrö also says that he knew about the Finns and the Russians common doping-program when he was the women's trainer 1995-98. Six Finnish skiers was caught for Hemohes in Lahti. Kyrö says Hemohes were used only to hide doping. Kyrö say to Yle that Vice-President of the International skiingfederation medical committee, Finn, Tapio Wideman, gave the Finnish skiing team false information before the World Championships in Lahti. They knew that Hemohes was forbidden, but it was thought that Hemohes test would not happen. "We asked Wideman whether it would be Hemohes test in Lahti. Wideman refused, adding that it is possible to use Hemohes", says Kyrö. Timo Seppälä, medical chairman of the Finnish Antidop-kommitté (REALLY????), recalls that it never made the epo test in Lahti. - Epo-test was developed as intimidation to Sydney Olympics 2000. Only international skiing federation know why it has not made the epo test in Lahti, Seppälä says. According to Seppälä means Kyrös opinion that the Finnish skiers used Hemohes and doping in Lahti. Just a few days ago Kyrö revealed that Bengt-Erik Bengtsson, a former skichef of the International skiingfederation, hide a blood test for high levels of haemoglobin, taken by the Finnish skier Virpi Kuitunen. At the time, blood samples were not public, unless the league wanted to go out with the result. I remember that Kuitunen had high-value before a WC-race in Italy in december 2000. When I told the Finnish managers Kari-Pekka Kyrö he said to me that I could well allow her to start, but that she then would break the race. I went along with it regrettably, says Bengtsson. Kari Pekka Kyrö says that throughout his time as a skitrainer in the 90s, there was a systematic doping-culture in finnish skiing. He says he continued to be surprised that their leaders in all these years has avoided the truth. Kyrö says that their former star, now a Member of Parliament, Marjo Matikainen-Kallström, has only doping to thank for her success. Esko Aho was chairman of the Finnish skifederation during the current time, and he says to the media that he don't remember what happend so many years ago.
