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.
