Prosecutors determined that \"no third-party involvement in the cyclist's fall could be established, nor could any criminally relevant breach of duty be found in connection with course safety or emergency assistance after the accident,\" and the case was closed.\n\n“We must accept this outcome,” Furrer's parents said. “We have found a way to live with the grief and the immeasurable loss and suffering.” [The Athletic]",
