The ski jumping world was buzzing over the weekend when the Norwegians were caught cheating – and also admitted their scams. General Janne Ahonen took the Lahti Doping Case in Lahti as well as the Dagbladet journalist Tore Ulrik Bratland.
Former Finnish Member of the International Ski Federation FIS equipment Committee Mikko Virmavirta He is more moderately attented to a recent stump case. He recalls that there have been “50 this winter”.
– There is no elephant can be banned at this point, Virmavirta sees.
– Rejects have come throughout the winter and several. Why would these now be banned? I don’t see this as a terribly different thing.
Immediately on Sunday, the International Ski Association announced that it would set up an ethical committee to investigate the cord.
– On the other hand, it is good that now that came like that caseVirmavirta thinks.
– Big costumes have not been controlled. Now, FIS has to intervene with a bigger hand.
Norwegian Ski Association ski jumping boss Jan-Erik Aalbu admitted at Sunday’s briefing that Johann Andre Forfangin and Marius Lindvik The costumes had sewn reinforced, irregular yarn.
– It seems that especially the inside of the legs, including the branches, has been stiffened to make the hanging branch spacing better anyway, Virmavirta comments.
– Possibly longitudinally, the extra cost of the dressing material will be automatically descended during the flight.
Virmavirta reminds us that “the suit alone can’t do.”
– The abandoned men jumped nicely. Probably the same investments would have come without fraud.

The buzzing soup began to boil on Saturday as Norwegian Forfang and Lindvik and Kristoffer Sundal Rejected in the big hill for an irregular jumping suit. The Polish site Sport.pl released a video over the weekend to sew a Norwegian suit.
– I think we’ve been cheating. We have tried to cheat on the system. It is not acceptable, Aalbu said at a press conference on Sunday.
-I want to apologize to other countries, the public, the fisi, the World Cup organizers, and the most supporters and sponsors. I also apologize to children who follow the sport.
