All five members of the men’s team who competed at the world championships were found to have cheated and have now been suspended, along with their head coach and two staffers.

The skiers tried to find an extra edge to fly farther by adjusting the crotch of their suits. “We regret it like dogs,” the team’s coach said.

Ahead of a news conference on Thursday, ruling body FIS has announced adjustments to its equipment control policy in ski jumping and Nordic combined following the Norway cheating affair. Each athlete will be allowed to use one suit until the end of the 2024-25 World Cup season.

The Norwegian ski federation has suspended a ski jumping coach and an equipment manager over their alleged role in a cheating scandal which shook the world championships this weekend.

Team officials are accused of altering athletes' suits to enhance their aerodynamics. The suspension by International Ski and Snowboard Federation (IFS) follows last week's FIS Nordic World Ski Championships.

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.

The Norwegian Ski Federation has suspended two staff, including the team coach, after the governing body admitted that the country's ski jumping team cheated by manipulating jumpsuits at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim.

Three additional Norwegian ski jumpers have been suspended after a cheating scandal at the Nordic skiing world championships, ruling body FIS said in a news conference on Thursday. Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal,
