Israel's bobsleigh team disqualified from 2026 Olympics for faking illness to replace a teammate.
Israel’s bobsleigh team was disqualified from the 2026 Winter Olympics after officials found team members falsely claimed illness to substitute reserve athlete Ward Fawarseh, a Druze man, in the four-man event.
The Olympic Committee of Israel confirmed the violation of fair play rules, stating the substitution request was based on a fabricated medical excuse.
Team member Uri Zisman admitted to the misconduct, leading the committee to bar the team from the final run.
The decision, made with the athletes’ agreement, underscores a strict stance against actions undermining Olympic integrity.
