The Norwegian suit scandal at the Nordic World Ski Championship in Trondheim has not followed the affected athletes too far-reaching consequences. The World Association FIS officially overturned the lock for the ski jumping quintet.
The Skiskprung World Association FIS does not take part: the locks for Marius Lindvik, Johann Andre Forfang, Robin Pedersen, Kristoffer Sundal and Robert Johansson end with the end of the 2024/25 season, as it says in an official message on Tuesday afternoon.
“The preliminary suspension of the athletes was necessary to ensure the integrity of the competition,” he said: “After the end of the 2024/25 competition season. other national ski associations are organized. “
FIS reserves further measures
However, this expressly does not apply to the preliminary suspension of three officials of the Norwegian ski jumping team.
Meanwhile, the FIS announced that the examinations of the ethics and complaince offices continue. “The diving suits confiscated on March 11, which have remained in Oslo, which have remained in the care of the FIs since then, are subjected to further technical control as planned. Further investigative measures are reserved,” said the World Association.

After FIS racing leaders Sandro Pertile had recently indicated that DSV eagle Andreas Wellinger could still be considered with World Cup gold because of the fraud affair, sport.de– Expert Luis Holuch slowed down – at least for the moment. “Everything stands and falls with the result of the examination,” said Holuch.
