Katja Schumacher

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).

[1] Schumacher fought back against the positive A- und B-tests, and denied ever having taken illegal performance-enhancing drugs.

[2] 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".

She retired from active competition in 2009, and acts as a coach and trainer, and gives seminars.
