Two-time Olympic luge medalist to miss 2026 Winter Games for breaking anti-doping rules
Madeleine Egle accepted a 20-month ban for missing three doping tests, preventing her from competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics, officials said.
- On Monday the International Testing Agency confirmed a 20-month ban for Madeleine Egle, Austrian luge athlete, and said she did not contest the violation.
- Egle missed three doping tests within a 12-month period, being unavailable to doping control officers on separate occasions, violating the global anti-doping whereabouts system.
- The athlete defended her record and wrote last month that her three missed tests were 'unfortunate coincidences' and she is European champion and world championships bronze medalist.
- Her suspension keeps her out of the next Olympic cycle, leaving a major gap in Austria's luge squad for upcoming seasons and the Winter Games.
- The ruling affects the Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo 2026 luge field and underscores that missed tests are enforceable violations impacting Austria's luge preparations.
