We use the recent results on dark matter searches of the 22-string IceCube detector to probe the remaining allowed window for strongly interacting dark matter in the mass range 10^4<m_X<10^15 GeV. We calculate the expected signal in the 22-string IceCube detector from the annihilation ofsuch particles captured in the Sun and compare it to the detected background. As a result, the remaining allowed region in the mass versus cross sectionparameter space is ruled out. We also show the expected sensitivity of the complete IceCube detector with 86 strings.

Heavy strongly interacting dark matter could, in models not yet excluded, deliver radiation doses similar to or above background, including up to 1 Sv to about one in a thousand people over a lifetime.
