Zwickau (pps) Luge has remained a clean sport also in the pre-Olympic season. As announced by the International Luge Federation (FIL), no doping offence occurred at either FIL Championships or Viessmann World Cups. This also pertains to the PEWO World Cups on natural track. Such was reported by FIL President Josef Fendt (GER) at the spring meeting of the FIL Executive Board held in Zwickau (GER).

The last two doping cases within the FIL were due to cannabis abuse. Both athletes were punished by their national federations.
