00:00This is a real weird one.
00:02And so we just told you about Julia Simon of France.
00:07She just won a gold medal a couple of days ago.
00:09I think she got a gold and a silver this week.
00:11Like, she's been killing it, whatever.
00:13But she just got convicted.
00:17She literally just got convicted of committing credit card fraud.
00:21Except what's weird about this is she committed credit card fraud
00:25against one of her teammates that's actually in this race today.
00:30Like, they're still racing together.
00:33And it turned out that she also used, like, the team's credit card and stuff.
00:39Like, she was pretty shady.
00:41She used, like, she got her hand on, like, the athletic training budget credit card once
00:48and racked up a bunch of, like, expensive gifts and stuff.
00:51And she denied doing it for three years.
00:54It was, like, this big controversy.
00:55And they couldn't prove it and stuff until they actually caught her.
00:59Like, on Instagram with one of the items or something.
01:02Like, it was, like, you know, one of these type of deals.
01:04So she's actually been, like, charged in this.
01:08She says she doesn't remember that it's like a blackout.
01:13I confess.
01:14Like, she denied it for three years.
01:15But she goes, I confess the accusations, but I don't remember committing them.
01:19It's like a blackout.
01:20I find my actions incomprehensible.
01:22I don't remember even doing them.
01:24I'm working with a psychologist to understand what happened.
01:29The crimes were committed in 2021, but were covered up by the French Association.
01:32It only came to light later after Seymour had won the first of her 10 world championships.
01:40So it's bizarro world.
01:42It's, like, she's literally, like, the best in the world.
01:44And, right?
01:46And it's crazy because her teammate became the target of, like, online abuse.
01:51That she was jealous of her more successful teammate.
01:54And her more successful teammate would never do that.
01:56And it turned out she did.
01:58It turned out she did.
02:00So the French Kee Federation imposed a six-month ban on Seymour.
02:04Five moments were suspended, meaning she only missed one event.
02:07And she was eligible to compete in the Olympics.
02:10She helped the team to win the gold medal in the 4x6 relay, blah, blah.
02:13So, like, all she does is win this girl.
02:17So, we're going Team France once again.
02:21We're riding with the French women.
02:24We're riding with the French women on this one.
