Rebecca Passler, a 24-year-old South Tyrolean biathlete, was today suspended from competing as a precautionary measure by the National Anti-Doping Tribunal for being found positive in a test conducted last Jan. 26 and ordered by Nado Italia. As a result, Passler was excluded from the Italian team and will not take part in the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Games.

The Italian Winter Sports Federation has always fought in every way against the use of prohibited substances during sports practice, and it does so by educating its athletes, from a very young age, to practice sports in compliance with the rules and with the utmost fairness.

“The Federation – commented FISI President Flavio Roda -, already in these hours, is investigating the incident, intending to support its athlete in all appropriate venues. It is essential that we get to the bottom of the matter to clear the field of any misunderstanding that could heavily mark Rebecca’s career and the federal image”.
