Overview

• The pair accepted a settlement after a months-long IECO/FEC probe, with FIS stating they breached anti-manipulation rules and the ethics code without proving actual knowledge of the tampering.
• The bans take effect on August 23 with prior provisional suspension deducted, include a 2,000 Swiss franc payment each, and sideline them from the Summer Grand Prix before a return for the Lillehammer World Cup in November.
• Lindvik retains his normal-hill world title, so silver medalist Andreas Wellinger does not move up in the results.
• FIS has tightened equipment oversight in response to the scandal, adding a yellow/red card system for repeat equipment violations and exploring stronger inspection measures.
• Disciplinary decisions for coaches and staff are still to come, with Norway’s TV2 reporting that 18‑month suspensions are being sought for head coach Magnus Brevig and two assistants.
