Katja Schumacher ( * 9 April 1968 in Heidelberg) is a German triathlete and Ironman triathlete, and previous German champion in both of these disciplines. == Career == Katja Schumacher grew up in Heidelberg. Her uncle was the Austrian alpine ski racer Toni Sailer. After the 2004 Frankfurt Ironman race, Schumacher was banned for one year by the disciplinary committee of the Triathlon Union (DTU).〔(Katja Schumacher ist gesperrt ), 3athlon.de, August 2004〕 Schumacher fought back against the positive A- und B-tests, and denied ever having taken illegal performance-enhancing drugs.〔(Katja Schumacher zweifelt Verfahren an ), 3athlon.de, September 2004〕 Due to the uncertainty of the case, the ban was lifted after 10 months, and the disciplinary commission decided that the case should not be referred to as a "ban".〔(The never ending prosecution of Katja Schumacher ), Englisch, Februar 2005〕 After this case, Schumacher quickly returned to competition, and after some years in the USA, returned to live in Heidelberg. In 2005 and 2008 she won the German middle-distance Triathlon championship (2 km swimming, 85 km cycling and 20 km running). Besides these races, she won four long-distance Ironman triathlons (in 1998, 2001, 2002 and 2006) and two 70.3 Ironman races (2002 and 2007). She retired from active competition in 2009, and acts as a coach and trainer, and gives seminars. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Katja Schumacher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
