Katja Nyberg does not want to go into details about the course of events when the police stopped her in her car on Värmdö in recent days, but firmly denies that she took cocaine or drove drunk.
"I have not taken any cocaine, and I deny committing any crime," says Nyberg.
She further states that the Swedish Transport Agency's decision to revoke her driver's license is based on a blood test that showed she had a metabolite in her body, not on evidence of drugs in her blood.
A metabolite is a substance that is formed in the body during the breakdown of, for example, drugs.
Nyberg says that the metabolite "is not an active substance" and that the Swedish Transport Agency's finding that she had 0.12 per mille of alcohol in her body does not mean that she was driving drunk, as the limit is 0.2 per mille.
"In Sweden, it is a crime to have drugs in your body, and since this is a metabolite it is seen as a minor drug offense. Then the question is how it got into my body," says Nyberg.
