French "fraudster" wins gold

rench biathlete Julia Simon was a star at the Winter Olympics, winning three gold medals and a silver after winning her first Olympic medal in 2022.

Just a few months ago, the Olympics were far from Simon's only concern. She was convicted of credit card fraud in October after stealing the credit card of a French teammate and using it to make $2,000 in online purchases. An investigation also revealed she used a team staffer's credit card without permission.

Simon was given a six-month ban by the French ski federation, but the ban was conveniently suspended until after the Olympics. Now, Simon is a three-time Olympic gold medalist and convicted criminal.
