Overview
- Erik Lesser, Daniel Böhm, Arnd Peiffer and Simon Schempp are recognized as the relay champions from Sochi 2014.
- The revised podium places Germany first ahead of Austria and Norway, and France’s Martin Fourcade also gains the 2010 mass start gold after Ustjugov’s disqualification.
- CAS sanctioned Yevgeniy Ustjugov in 2020 based on biological passport abnormalities, and the Swiss Federal Supreme Court rejected his final appeals in May 2025.
- Ustjugov’s results from January 24, 2010 through the end of the 2013/14 season were annulled, clearing the way for medal redistribution.
- Athletes may choose their medal handover location, with the IOC suggesting Cortina 2026; the German quartet has already returned their silver medals and favors an Olympic-stage ceremony.
