  • Paavo Nurmi's Posthumous Doping Case
    scandinavian sport studies forum issn 2000-088x volume two, 2011, 119–136 © erkki vettenniemi 2011 www.sportstudies.org Paavo Nurmi’s Posthumous Doping Case An Essay on Drugs, Money, and the Vagaries of Sports Journalism Erkki Vettenniemi Department of History and Ethnology, University of Jyväskylä <[email protected]> Abstract In the early 1930s, the Finnish long-distance runner Paavo Nurmi endorsed a medi- cal substance that allegedly enhanced athletic performance. Sixty years later, one such endorsement was discovered and, in a rather sensationalist manner, interpreted by a Swedish newspaper as an infringement of anti-doping rules. The scoop triggered a brief war of words between Finland and Sweden. My article explores the two incidents that, taken together, testify to the alarmingly anachronistic nature of today’s dominant dop- ing discourses. What was once an innocuous drug experiment or an advertisement of a non-controversial pharmaceutical can suddenly be construed as a form of cheating. In a further ironic twist, Nurmi’s purported drug of choice appears to have worked only as a placebo, and according to a contemporary source, it had been enough for the Finn to get paid for the endorsement without so much as touching the concoction. Yet although the nine-time Olympic champion merely violated the outdated amateur rules, his reputation can probably never fully recover from the posthumous drug slur that has been uncriti- cally disseminated for two decades. Key words: Paavo Nurmi, doping, testosterone, amateurism, sports journalism, media frenzy, running history 119 ERKKI VETTENNIEMI Introduction to a blame game When six Finnish skiers failed their doping control tests at the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2001, observers in the neighboring coun- tries had an irresistible opportunity to indulge in the art of Schaden- freude.

Thank you too to our parents for their support, throughout the season. 2018 Prestige Athletics Team 1 | P a g e Unsubscribe l Contact (011) 367 6631 105 Witkoppen Road, Fourways THROUGH THE KEYHOLE GIRLS PREP SCHOOL 8 November 2018 To our girls who performed in the Musical Showcase on Tuesday night. The show was simply phenomenal! Our newly formed orchestra and various ensembles were amazing, our individual musicians performed at an incredibly high level and we had a number of original pieces - girls who had formed the own groups and bands as well as some who had written their own songs! Congratulations to Mrs Marguerite Schmitt and her team for not only preparing the girls for the concert, but for inspiring the love of music throughout our school! Last Saturday we hosted our annual Information morning for Grade 0 parents. The majority of my presentation was about what parents can do to align themselves and their daughters with our school ethos, our value system and what we expect. In discussion with a parent afterwards, we wondered how many current parents follow some or all of the advice given.
