Multiple world champion Julie Simon cheated on her teammate Justine Breza-Boucher.
Scandal in the French biathlon team. Julia Simone was found guilty in a bank card fraud case. Moreover, the multiple world champion in biathlon tricked his teammate from the French team, Justine Breza-Boucher.
According to La Stampa, the French woman was suspected of fraud in the summer of 2023. At the time, Breza-Boucher alleged that the 27-year-old biathlete allegedly used her payment card for an online purchase.
In October, Simone was suspended, but still got the chance to compete in the 2023/24 World Cup. After the end of the season, his case was reviewed.
According to the source, Simone was found guilty of theft and illegal use of Breza-Boucher funds.
As punishment, Julie must pay Justine the sum of 2 thousand euros (this is the exact amount Simone spent to pay for the purchase).
Notice that Simon was not punished to the fullest extent of the law. The athlete was threatened with imprisonment for 5 years, as well as a fine of 375 thousand. In addition, the French Biathlon Federation decided not to punish one of the team leaders in any way.
We remind you that at the end of the World Cup of the 2023/24 season, Julia Simon took fifth place in the individual competition, failing to defend the title of the owner of the Big Crystal Globe, which she won in the final match of the 2022/23 season.
We remind you that earlier it became known that Antonio Rüdiger bought himself a watch 30 times more expensive than the Champions League Cup.
