Credit card theft, penis injections, and other weird scandals from the 2026 Olympic Games

Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Lægreid won bronze and admitted to cheating on his girlfriend, saying "I made the biggest mistake of my life" in a post-win interview, and has a history of erratic behavior, including being banned from the Biathlon World Cup in 2023 for firing a rifle in his hotel room.
French biathlete Julia Simon medaled despite being convicted of stealing her teammate's credit card and committing credit card fraud, with a French court handing her a six-month ban that was partially suspended by the French Ski Federation, allowing her to compete at the Olympics.
Male ski jumpers are allegedly injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid to cheat, with the World Anti-Doping Agency on alert, as this method could potentially allow them to wear larger ski suits and gain an aerodynamic advantage, with a study published in the scientific sports journal Frontiers finding that suit size greatly influences aerodynamic performance.
