The recently revealed skiing scandal involving the USA's team centers around equipment manager Oleg Ragilo. He brought a substance, specifically an agent for removing wax, to a prohibited area during the men’s sprint competition. Initially, the USA team claimed that the product was only used to wash Ragilo's hands and did not come into contact with the skis. However, Ragilo explained the rationale behind having the substance on site, detailing that it is part of his routine when preparing and testing the skis for the athletes. He emphasized the importance of keeping his hands clean while performing his duties, leading to his decision to bring the removal agent for personal hygiene.
