Martin Fourcade Set to Become France’s Most Decorated Olympian After Doping Ruling

The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld the disqualification of Russian biathlete Evgeny Ustyugov, awarding Fourcade his sixth Olympic gold medal 14 years after the Vancouver Games.

French biathlete Martin Fourcade will receive his sixth Olympic gold medal after Russian competitor Evgeny Ustyugov was disqualified for doping violations during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld the ruling that Ustyugov's biological passport showed anomalies, invalidating all his results from 2010 to 2014, including his Vancouver gold and bronze medals.
Fourcade, who originally placed second in the Vancouver mass start event, surpasses judoka Teddy Riner to become France's most decorated Olympian with six gold medals.
The reallocation of medals will see Slovakia's Pavol Hurajt upgraded to silver and Austria's Christoph Sumann to bronze in the mass start event.
Fourcade, now involved in Olympic governance, is expected to play a significant role in organizing the 2030 Winter Games in the French Alps and Nice.
