An independent report commissioned by the International Biathlon Union (IBU) says there is evidence of systematic corrupt and unethical conduct by the former leadership of the sport s governing body in a decade-long cover-up of Russian doping cases.
The report, published on January 28, says that former IBU President Anders Besseberg and ex-Secretary-General Nicole Resch have cases to answer for breach of the IBU s rules, based on their apparent protection of Russian interests, particularly in the anti-doping context, without good justification, between 2008 and 2018.
Norway s Besseberg and the German Resch stepped down in 2018 after Austrian police raided the IBU s headquarters in the city of Salzburg amid a criminal investigation into whether the pair had accepted benefits for covering up Russian doping cases. They haven t been charged with any crime.
