OBERHOFEN, Switzerland \u2014 The International Ski Federation has disqualified Stefan Luitz from his first World Cup win for inhaling from an oxygen tank between giant slalom runs.<\/p>\n

The federation says the German racer will lose his prize money of $46,000 and 100 World Cup points for the Dec. 2 victory in Beaver Creek. Luitz will not be banned.<\/p>\n

Racing at an altitude of 10,340 feet, Luitz used the oxygen before retaining his first-run lead over Marcel Hirscher. The Austrian great will be awarded the win.<\/p>\n

The International Ski Federation prohibits using supplemental oxygen even though the World Anti-Doping Agency does not.<\/p>\n

Skiing’s governing body says its hearing panel’s decision is “not a sanction, but a consequence of the rule violation.”<\/p>\n

Luitz and Germany’s ski federation can appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.<\/p>\n
