Francesco Friedrich Claims World Cup Victory Despite Teammate's Doping Controversy

The Olympic bobsleigh champion tied with Johannes Lochner in St. Moritz while his regular pusher, Simon Wulff, remains sidelined over a positive doping test.

Francesco Friedrich and Johannes Lochner both finished with a total time of 2:12:21 in the two-man bobsleigh World Cup race in St. Moritz, sharing the victory.
Simon Wulff, Friedrich's regular pusher, was temporarily sidelined after testing positive for the banned stimulant methylhexanamine during a December 7 competition in Altenberg.
Alexander Schüller stepped in as Friedrich's pusher, with the pair achieving a start and track record in the second heat to secure the win.
The German team also celebrated a triple podium finish, with Adam Ammour and Benedikt Hertel claiming third place in the event.
Wulff has requested the opening of his B-sample as the investigation continues, though he is not currently subject to a formal suspension under anti-doping rules.
