Overview

• 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.
