Cheating Scandal Shocks Ski Jumping, Topples Norway's Lofty Reputation
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING GENEVA — Sign stealing in baseball. Cheating by Norway team officials manipulating ski suits has shaken a national reputation for fair play and high-minded principles at their home Nordic world championships, where the host team dominated the medal table. “FIS has provisionally suspended three Norwegian team officials and two athletes who are being investigated for their alleged involvement in illegal equipment manipulation,” the Switzerland-based governing body said in a statement. Norway's Marius Lindvik poses with Norway's Johann Andre Forfang at the end of the second day of the men's FIS Ski Jumping World Cup competition in Sapporo on February 16, 2025. Athletes and officials from across the world left Trondheim on Sunday sad and disappointed, FIS race director for men’s ski jumping Sandro Pertile told The Associated Press in an interview.
