Max Hauke (born 29 August 1992) is a cross-country skier from Austria.
Career He competed for Austria at the 2014 Winter Olympics in the cross-country skiing events.
During the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2019, he was apprehended during a raid by Austrian police and charged with doping offenses alongside his teammate Dominik Baldauf and three other athletes from Estonia and Kazakhstan.
Soon after, a video surfaced showing Hauke being caught red-handed by the Austrian police in the middle of a blood transfusion as part of the act of blood doping. The policeman, who leaked the video in the private group of an instant messaging app, subsequent to which the video spread on the Internet, was charged with malpractice.
