Doping scandal in Turin
Pinter was by IOC banned for life from the Olympic Games for his involvement in a doping scandal at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.[2] FIS cleared him in their anti-doping hearing of the case while three other Austrian cross-country skiers were handed doping bans. WADA appealed Pinters case to CAS, and in November 2008 he was handed a four-year ban from sports.[3]
