No Gabriela Koukalova in Östersund. She's still having too many problems with some muscles in her legs and will go to Finland for some extra training sessions to make up for the lost time this summer. Participation in the Olympics is 'in danger'.

Apparently she didn't reject the allegations, which sort of sounds like an admission of guilt, especially when apologizing for her actions.

Very sad news for Slovenian biathlon, basically we lost all chances to compete with our women's relay at the Olympics, and even mixed relay.

Interesting question whether Gregorin could be stripped of her medal from 2014

I don´t think so. It was 4 years later, but who know

WADA rules say that every result from the time the positive sample was taken should be disqualified "until it is unfair to athlete concerned"

They could take everything from 2010 to 2017 from her.

But usually they just take the 2 years that she would have been banned for if she'd been caught when they tested the sample the first time. In this case 2010-2012
