MOSCOW, Jan 13 In the 2022 Games, fluorinated lubricants may face problems at customs, Norwegian publication Dagbladet reported, citing FIS racing director Pierre Minieri. Unlike the International Biathlon Federation (IBU), FIS did not issue a statement on banning the use of fluoride during the Beijing Olympics. «All teams that choose to use fluoride grease are at great risk when traveling with prohibited products through EU countries on their way to China, for example through customs,» said Minieri.
