The Anti-Doping Commission of FIS has decided to disqualify Stefan Luitz because of unauthorized inhalation of bottled oxygen. He will lose the GS victory he won in Beaver Creek. 

His lawyer told the German press earlier today that Luitz wants to challenge the decision.

Is there any point in challenging the decision?

 

I mean, he's guilty, isn't he?

Challenges often aren't about guilty or not :p 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Luitz and the German Ski Association argue that they did not know that the ban on inhalation of bottled oxygen is still in the FIS rules. WADA has allowed the use of oxygen since 2018. However, FIS has not adjusted its 2016 regulations to those of WADA . FIS, on the other hand, emphasizes that Luitz's offense is not considered a doping case, but a rule violation. Thus, the use of oxygen by the World Anti-Doping Agency is not prohibited, but "certain scientific and medical equipment" in competition is forbidden, according to FIS's rules.
