Overview
- Carl said Wednesday she will be allowed back in official team training from 26 September and will become eligible to compete from 26 November.
- Her comeback follows an 18‑month suspension that stemmed from a positive test for the banned drug clenbuterol at the Military World Championships in March 2025.
- Carl says a Bundeswehr doctor gave her the cough medicine Spasmo Mucosolvan at the event and that she declared the drug but did not know it contained clenbuterol.
- Because her FIS points expired during the ban she must enter lower‑level races to regain the points needed for World Cup entry, making the season opener uncertain but aiming for the second weekend.
- The suspension cost her a place at the 2026 Winter Olympics and left lasting reputational and emotional effects, though she says solitary training strengthened her mentally and fuels her goal to return stronger.
