It’s the greatest scandal to hit the world of ski jumping since the Engblåd-Distiick incident of 1976, which is something I just invented right this second, but you didn’t know that because we don’t talk about ski jumping very often.

It was revealed in video secretly recorded from behind a curtain then sent by a whistleblower to international media. An FIS official said the illegal alterations were subsequently confirmed by tearing apart the seams of the crotch area on the ski suits in question.

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.
