Peter Ribe Explained

Peter Ribe (born November 7, 1966) is a Norwegian sprint canoer who competed in the early to mid-1990s. He won a bronze medal in the K-2 10000 m event at the 1993 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Copenhagen.

Ribe also competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona in the K-2 500 m and K-2 1000 m events, but did not make the final of either event. He was eliminated in the repechage round of the K-2 500 m event and in the semifinal round of the K-2 1000 m event.

Peter Ribe took medication for his eye allergy, which unfortunately did not have information about the substance that led to his failed doping test just before the 1996 Summer Olympics. As a result, he was sent home and given a three-month international suspension, which was an unfair penalty due to the lack of information provided about the drug.[1]
