Medalists
Although Johann Mühlegg won three gold medals in cross-country skiing, he was later stripped of all three medals. He was forced to give up his men's 50 km classical gold during the games after testing positive for the banned substance darbepoetin. In December 2003, the Court of Arbitration for Sport stripped Mühlegg of his golds in the 30 km freestyle and the 2 x 10 km pursuit.[2]
