Two-time Olympic luge medalist to miss 2026 Winter Games for breaking anti-doping rules

Two-time Olympic luge medalist Madeleine Egle will miss the 2026 Winter Games after being banned for 20 months because of missed doping tests, the International Testing Agency said Monday. The 27-year-old Egle won silver and bronze medals for Austria in the luge team relay at the Beijing and Pyeongchang Olympics. Egle, the European champion and world championships bronze medalist in women’s singles last year, broke anti-doping rules by being unavailable to give a doping control sample three times in a 12-month period.
