French biathlon star Julia Simon gets suspended ban, can compete at Winter Olympics

Biathlon star Julia Simon will be allowed to compete at next year's Winter Olympics after receiving a six-month ban, including five months suspended, for stealing money from a teammate, the French ski federation (FFS) said Thursday. The suspension came after Simon was found guilty of theft and credit card fraud by a French court last month and handed a three-month suspended prison sentence. The court ruling had left a question mark over her participation at the Olympics in Milan-Cortina d’Ampezzo.
