An athlete convicted of committing credit card fraud against one of her national teammates has won an Olympic gold medal for France in the women’s 15km biathlon, beating her victim to do it.

Julia Simon, 29, was handed a €15,000 fine and a three-month suspended sentence last October after she was found to have spent more than €2,000 using card details belonging to Justine Braisaz-Bouchet, also 29, who finished in 80th place in the same race. A third member of the French team, Lou Jeanmonnot, won the silver.

Simon was also found to have used the card details of the team physiotherapist to make purchases between 2021 and 2022. She denied the crime for three years, claiming she had been a victim of identity theft, before finally admitting her guilt in a court hearing in Albertville last October after she was found to have photos of the credit card on her phone. “I confess the accusations but I don’t remember committing them,” she said at the time. “It’s like a blackout.”

That last line is gold

Reporters and photographers outnumbered both groups handily.

In a release Tuesday, Moderna said the FDA did not identify any safety or efficacy concerns with the vaccine. Instead, it said the FDA took issue with the “comparator” in its clinical trial — the vaccine the company used as a benchmark to evaluate its own shot.

The FDA said the use of the standard flu shot as a comparator “does not reflect the best-available standard of care.” The standard flu shot is FDA-approved.

Last year, Kennedy ordered that all new vaccines go through placebo-controlled clinical trials.

When vaccines are already available for a disease, it's considered unethical to give clinical trial participants a placebo, rather than compare the new vaccine to the existing one. Giving a placebo would leave people who would be otherwise protected vulnerable to infection.

So glad we have someone competent leading the FDA. /s

I have mostly silent reflux, so it's really hard to tell. This adventure started when I had been coughing with a sore throat for about 4 months, started seeing doctors at that point. Those symptoms continue and I have a new diagnosis of barretts esophagus so it's important I tackle the reflux and limit the behavior that could further the progression of barretts.

Thank you for posting this. I'm on day 12 of a diet to control my reflux symptoms and I feel awful and run down. Was worried I'd never hit that 'increased energy' I had read about.

You didn't append this to your path, you just overwrote the whole value. You'll need to use full paths to commands to edit the file and fix it like export PATH="$PATH:/the/new/path/to/add"
