The investigation into Muriel Furrer's tragic death during the 2024 Road World Championships in Zurich concludes without fault against the UCI. Zurich public prosecutors confirm no criminal conduct or negligence by organizers or participants. Furrer, 18, crashed on a downhill stretch, hidden by underbrush, and lay unattended for over an hour. The incident occurred around 11:04 a.m., out of sight of support teams and spectators. Due to the lack of live tracking for athletes, her disappearance went unnoticed until 12:26 p.m. Emergency responders arrived promptly after her discovery, providing immediate care and facilitating her transport to the hospital. The investigation affirms that there were no breaches of duty related to the rescue efforts or the circumstances surrounding the accident.
