FIMervi Wiberg's Rottweiler tested positive for cocaine during a dog show in Helsinki last December. The result was revealed six months after the test was conducted, causing Wiberg significant shock. She emphasized she has always strictly followed doping regulations and does not have any history of drug use within her family circle.
