We were surprised in our room," team member Juergen Pinter said. "Suddenly the police came in and didn't let us leave on the night before the competition. This happened without any positive result from doping control in the team. There's definitely no doping in the Austrian team. It's crazy."

Officers "confiscated material of various origin ... which will have to undergo laboratory analysis," Col. Angelo Agovino, commander of the Carabinieri police force in Turin, said later Sunday.

He did not specify what was found, but Heinz Jungwirth, general secretary of the Austrian Olympic Committee, said that "certain medicines" were taken.
