A happy Erik is pictured above as he crosses the line in the men's 50km Walk at the 2008
Olympic Games in Beijing. Tysse's time of 3.45.08, a new personal best, saw him finish
in a highly creditable 5th place.
On 8 July 2010 Tysse was suspended from all competitions, after findings of CERA (EPO) in his blood tests from
Sesto San Giovanni in Italy. Tysse professed his innocence. He received a two-year ban for doping and
the sanction was confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The ban ended 7 July 2012.
