They follow the suspensions on Wednesday of Olympic gold medalists Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang in a scandal that came to light after Norway team officials manipulated suits to improve aerodynamics and help athletes fly farther. Isn't it part of professional skiing make make suits more aerodynamic to help athletes fly farther?

Isn't it part of professional skiing make make suits more aerodynamic to help athletes fly farther?Much like swimming who has rules about swim suit fabrics used, organizing bodies have the "ideal" that all competitors should have access to the suit technology so the base line playing field is level.
There is so much money involved these days, the concept of 1950's amateur athletes and rules about what equipment can be used went out the window decades ago.

I wonder who flies farther - thin jumpers with less weight or heavier jumpers with more drag.

Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang were disqualified after officials discovered their suits had been altered with reinforced thread, a clear violation of FIS equipment regulations.
“The support system has explained that, on Friday, they chose to put a reinforced thread in the jumpsuit of Forfang and Lindvik,” stated Jan-Erik Aalbu, the general manager of the Norwegian Ski Federation, during a press conference. “This was done knowing that this is not within the regulations, but with a belief that it would not be discovered by FIS’ equipment controller. The way I consider this, we have cheated. We have tried to cheat the system. That is unacceptable.”
