The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) is conducting an investigation after suspicions of deliberate equipment alterations came to light. FIS officials stress the importance of strict compliance with regulations in the sport.
The widening cheating scandal in ski jumping has led to the provisional suspension of three Norwegian athletes based on suspicions of illegal suit manipulation.
FIS officials were prompted to seize jump suits following initial violations, revealing additional suspicions that warranted the suspension of three more athletes.
This incident illustrates the strict adherence to regulations within ski jumping, as emphasized by FIS secretary general Michel Vion about the unwavering nature of rules.
Despite the ongoing investigation, there is uncertainty regarding the extent of suit manipulation practices in the ski jumping community.
