Florian Busch (born January 2, 1985, in Tegernsee, West Germany) is a German former professional ice hockey forward who last played for Eisbären Berlin of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).[1][2]

International career[edit]

Busch has represented Germany at various levels from 2002 to 2008. On 23 June 2009, Busch was banned for two years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after refusing a drug test in March 2008 because he was spending time with his girlfriend when the testers visited him.[3] He told the testers to come back several hours later, upon which he passed the test.[4] Initially, the German Ice Hockey Federation simply fined Busch for refusing the test- allowing him to play in the 2008 World Championships- but the World Anti-Doping Agency challenged the ruling.[5] Busch's ban was lifted in November 2009, and he signed an anti-doping pledge in December 2009.[6]
