Overview
- French middle‑distance runner Aurore Fleury received a six‑month ban that runs through the end of February 2026 and was ordered to donate €3,000 to charity.
- German discus throwers Henrik Janssen and Steven Richter were handed three‑month suspended bans after admitting breaches of World Athletics rules.
- Fleury wagered €2,000 on a teammate at the 2024 European Championships in Rome and won €5,000, while Janssen and Richter placed €100 and €40 in bets at the World Championships in Tokyo.
- At a pre‑event camp in Miyazaki, Janssen and Richter were overheard discussing wagers and, after being told betting was prohibited, they attempted to cancel their bets and placed no further wagers.
- The AIU cited lack of betting education, early admissions, remorse, and clean records as mitigating factors and reaffirmed that Integrity Standard 3.3.4 forbids participants from betting on athletics.
