Norwegian Olympic biathlon champion Sturla Lægreid said he spent several hours in police custody after committing a safety violation during training before a World Cup race in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.
Earlier, the International Biathlon Union (IBU) announced that Laegreid had been suspended from Sunday’s mass start due to an incident during indoor dry-fire training. The Norwegian fired a shot; no one was injured as a result of the incident. Laegreid said he shot into the wall while preparing for Friday’s sprint.
– This is very ridiculous. We play a sport that can potentially cost lives. Any violation of safety regulations must therefore be treated with the strictest possible consideration. So I will have to accept the consequences.
Yesterday, I spent several hours at the police station. I wrote a report, they write the documents. I was told there would probably be no consequences,” Lægreid said, as quoted by NRK.
The Lenzerheide stage ended on Sunday.
