Cortina d'Ampezzo (Belluno), 13 February (LaPresse) – The National Court of Appeal of Nado Italia (Nadab) has upheld Rebecca Passler's appeal against her provisional suspension, which was triggered after she tested positive for Letrozole during a test carried out on 26 January. The case was recognised as fumus boni iuris, i.e. the apparent validity of the involuntary intake or unknowing contamination of the substance in question. The outcome allows the athlete to participate in the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics. Passler will join her teammates starting on Monday, 16th February, when she will be available to the technical staff for the upcoming competitions in the five-ring programme. "These have been very difficult days. I have always believed in my good faith. I would like to thank everyone who helped me, from the lawyers who followed my case to the Italian Winter Sports Federation, my family and friends. Now I can finally get back to focusing 100% on biathlon," commented Rebecca Passler.
