ZURICH (AP) — Swiss downhill racer Niels Hintermann will miss the entire ski season after being diagnosed with lymph node cancer. The 29-year-old Hintermann is a three-time race winner on the World Cup circuit. He revealed the diagnosis Wednesday at a news conference. Hintermann noticed a swelling in his neck after an offseason training camp in South America. Cancerous tumors were detected in his neck and collarbone. Hintermann says “The chances of recovery are very good. Everything is under control.” The Swiss ski federation says he's scheduled for chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment with recovery time of about six months possible.
