Anders Besseberg

The former head of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) Anders Besseberg was suspected of groundlessly defending Russia's interests in an anti-doping context. This was reported on the organization's website.

This is the conclusion reached by an independent commission. The IBU is now waiting for answers to the questions that have arisen from the Norwegian functionary and Nicole Resch, who served as the Union's Secretary General. It is noted that the report with all the evidence was sent to the Biathlon Integrity Unit (BIU). It is this organization that must decide on further investigations and possible disciplinary action.
