Simon Wulff's B-Sample Confirms Doping Violation, Investigation Ongoing

The bobsleigh pusher's suspension disrupts Olympic preparations as efforts to prove supplement contamination continue.

  • Simon Wulff, bobsleigh pusher for Olympic champion Francesco Friedrich, tested positive for the banned substance Methylhexanamin after a December 2024 competition.
  • The B-sample has confirmed the presence of the substance, which is banned in competition but allowed in training.
  • Wulff and his legal team are investigating potential contamination of supplements he consumed as the source of the banned substance.
  • The German Bobsleigh and Sledding Federation (BSD) has provisionally suspended Wulff to protect the team from retroactive sanctions.
  • A final decision on Wulff's case is expected no earlier than May 2025, leaving his participation in the 2026 Winter Olympics uncertain.
