SOCHI, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- Former Olympic cross-country champion Evi Sachenbacher-Stehle is the German athlete at the Sochi Games to fail a doping test, German news agency DPA reported here on Friday.

But DPA said that there was no immediate confirmation from the German Olympic Sports Association DOSB.

Sachenbacher-Stehle, 33, who has won five Olympic medals in cross-country skiing, finished fourth in the 12.5km mass start race on Monday.

She won a team sprint cross-country gold in Vancouver in 2010 and a cross-country relay gold in Salt Lake City in 2002.
