Julia Simon, the French biathlete, recently triumphed as an Olympic champion in the individual event, an impressive comeback after her conviction last October for credit card fraud. She admitted to misusing credit cards, including that of her teammate Justine Braisaz-Bouchet, for online purchases during the summer of 2022. As a result, she was sentenced to a three-month suspended prison term and fined €15,000, which led to a six-month competition ban imposed by the French skiing federation, with five months on probation. Simon was only reinstated to competition at the second World Cup of the season in mid-December, showcasing her resilience and determination.
