Germany to Receive Belated Relay Gold From 2014 Winter Games

On Thursday, Switzerland's highest judicial authority rejected former Russian biathlete Evgeny Ustyugov's appeal concerning his doping ban.
Ustyugov was stripped of the 2014 Winter Games relay gold in 2020 after being found guilty of doping, leading to this final legal rejection.
Consequently, the German biathlon relay team—comprising Daniel Böhme, Arnd Peiffer, Erik Lesser, and Simon Schempp—will be retroactively awarded the gold medal, upgrading their original silver from the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Christian Winkler, media director of the IBU, confirmed that the issue has been fully resolved, allowing the IOC to proceed with awarding the medals.
This medal reallocation 11 years after the Sochi Games means Austria will receive silver and Norway bronze, while Peiffer hopes for a ceremony at 2026 Winter Games.
