French alpine skiing star Julia Simon stole her teammates' credit cards and ordered goods.

She is now being tried for fraud, reports Italian newspaper La Stampa.

The story plagued the French national team throughout the past season.

Julia Simon was accused of stealing the credit cards of her teammates Justine Braisaz-Bouchet and another team-mate and ordering goods online.

Simon was accused of fraud and was taken in for police questioning in the autumn.

She has now been convicted, according to La Stampa.

The 27-year-old star, who has won six World Championships gold medals, is being forced to pay fines and compensation. The star has consistently maintained her innocence throughout.
