Two Olympic gold medalist ski jumpers have been suspended over their alleged involvement in manipulating ski suits to make them more aerodynamic.
Three staff members embroiled in the cheating scandal - including the head coach - have also been stood down from their jobs.

It has emerged that team officials manipulated pre-approved and microchipped suits to increase their size and improve aerodynamics to help athletes fly further.
It was revealed in footage secretly filmed from behind a curtain then sent by a whistleblower to international media.
A FIS official said the illegal alterations were only confirmed by tearing apart the seams of the crotch area on the offending ski suits.
The FIS has seized all the suits worn by the Norway teams at the world championships.

I'm flummoxed.

Three more Norwegian ski jumpers suspended in cheating scandal
What? Have to use speedos?
“Microchips? Crotch area? ‘Filmed from behind a curtain’? I’m flummoxed.”
Do an image search on Vigeland Park and everything will make sense.
They were wearing lefse underwear.
The suits were just a diversion. The real advantage comes from their secret bean-based diet.
LOL well your nick kind of fits your post this time.
Every edge counts, when you’re dealing with 1/1000 seconds between gold and nobody.
Naked ski jumping is the only way to go?
And when I awoke,
I was alone.
This bird had flown.
So I lit a fire.
Isn’t it good
Norwegian wood?
“Every edge counts, when you’re dealing with 1/1000 seconds between gold and nobody.”
I still wouldn’t carry a microchip IN MY CROTCH regardless of whether it improves ‘performance’. Laz, on the other hand, might think differently.
I visited Vigeland Park when I was twelve. It’s quite impressive, not at all vulgar. But then, living in Europe at the time, I was used to nekkid statues.
Now, now, I do get get your joke and not trying to be priggish. I laughed myslf.
I remember my baby brother asking my mother “Mama, is this art like Italy or dirty like Copenhagen?”
Wouldn’t there be significant shrinkage?
Although I’ve read the story, not sure what exactly happened.
Crotch stitching, microchips, a voyeur camera and a snitch ?
Does this involve gnomes and profit ?
They let out the crotch area . The Poor Norwegians needed more ball room. The Olympic committee doesn’t want real men competing. Nope, no balls allowed on the men’s ski jump hill.
They could just shave their legs like bicycle racers do.

“tearing apart the seams of the crotch area”
Hope they let them take the suits off, first.
me neither...
Aerodynamic Crotches...
