Overview
- The FIS ethics commission expects to announce its verdict this week after a four-month investigation into jump suit tampering at the Trondheim World Championships.
- Video footage confirmed that Marius Lindvik’s and Johan Andre Forfang’s suits were altered with needle and thread, leading to their disqualification and Lindvik’s large-hill silver medal being stripped.
- If Lindvik’s normal-hill gold is rescinded, second-place finisher Andreas Wellinger would be elevated to champion.
- Provisional suspensions on Lindvik, Forfang, Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal, Benjamin Östvold and Fredrik Villumstad were lifted for their return to competition at the FIS Summer Grand Prix in Courchevel.
- All five athletes deny knowing about the suit manipulations and attribute responsibility to their dismissed head coach, Magnus Brevig.
