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