Overview

• Simon faces accusations of using teammates’ credit cards for online purchases, a case confirmed to AFP by the Albertville prosecutor after reports in Le Dauphiné Libéré.
• The charges stem from allegedly unauthorized orders worth about €2,300 that were delivered to Simon’s address.
• Incidents are reported to have occurred during a French team training camp in Norway in the summer of 2022.
• Teammate Justine Braisaz-Bouchet and a national team staff member filed complaints, while Simon denies wrongdoing and has lodged an identity-theft complaint against unknown persons.
• In 2023 Simon was briefly held in custody and temporarily excluded from team training, and the French Ski Federation says it will await the court’s verdict before considering disciplinary action.
