Following the International Biathlon Union’s (IBU) publication of the External Review Commission report into allegations of wrongdoing and corruption on 1 February, the Biathlon Integrity Unit (BIU) is conducting its own ongoing inquiries into the matters highlighted by the report. 

The BIU is currently examining the full unredacted copy of the report, together with all supporting evidence, to determine whether to undertake any further investigations and whether to bring disciplinary charges for breach of the IBU rules that were in place at the relevant time. As is the BIU’s prerogative, we will conduct all our enquiries independently and impartially.

The BIU will provide any findings of rule violations and other breaches to IBU rules to its board, along with a recommendation by the Head of the BIU.  The BIU Board will then consider the findings and determine whether or not, subsequent action is required.  

The BIU will continue to provide updates on our progress.
