Summary
German Olympic champion wants to be “the best” again after doping ban. I was jogging, I couldn’t keep walking. The receipt for the mistake was a hard 18-month ban that cost Carl, among other things, participation in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. In March 2025, she had tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol.
Furthermore, In the podcast “Be Proud Talk”, the Thuringian expressed her goals for the upcoming season 2026/27 very forcibly: My goal is to be the best. In September, the Germans are allowed to officially train with the team again, on 26. Quite the opposite: The 30-year-old cross-country skier immediately targets the absolute world leader again on her return.
In addition, Due to the long absence, she has lost her FIS points and has to collect them only at smaller, upstream races in order to get the starting authorization for the elite class. I want to come back stronger, especially now. The German Victoria Carl celebrates third place last year. © picture alliance/dpa/NTB | Christoffer Andersen Behind the team sprint Olympic champion from Beijing lies an emotional roller coaster ride.
