Mika Kristian Myllylä (12 September 1969 – 5 July 2011[1]) was aFinnishcross-country skier who competed from 1992 to 2005. He won six medals at theWinter Olympics, earning one gold (1998: 30 km), one silver (1994: 50 km), and four bronzes (1994: 30 km, 4 × 10 km; 1998: 10 km, 4 × 10 km).

Myllylä also won a total of nine medals at theFIS Nordic World Ski Championships, winning four golds (1997: 50 km, 1999: 10 km, 30 km, 50 km), three silvers (10 km + 15 km combined pursuit: 1997, 1999; 4 × 10 km relay: 1997), and two bronzes (10 km: 1995, 1997).

He was on his way to become one of the greatest stars in cross-country skiing history, until he was caughtdoping in the Finnish2001 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships scandal for takinghydroxyethyl starch (HES), ablood plasma expander usually used tocover up the use oferythropoietin (EPO) in athletes. The scandal also affected five other Finnish skiers, includingJari Isometsä andHarri Kirvesniemi. Myllylä received a two-year suspension from theFIS as a result. In connection with a 2011 court case, Myllylä gave a sworn statement where he admitted using EPO in the 1990s, during his career.[2]

After the suspension Myllylä tried to return to skiing, but failed to come back to the international level despite winning a few Finnish championships. Myllylä retired from the skiing sports in 2005. In the following years he was involved in alcohol-related problems which were extensively covered in Finnish tabloid papers.[3] On 5 July 2011, Myllylä was found dead at his home inKokkola. The official police investigation concluded that his death was the result of an accident, and ruled out the possibility of foul play and suicide.[4][5]
