- Philipp Raimund says there is still bad blood and that he will not forgive the Norwegians for the suit manipulation that hurt the sport’s credibility.
- Karl Geiger argues serving suspensions in the summer was not a real punishment and questions how much the athletes knew about the cheating.
- Norway’s Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang received three-month bans, while former head coach Magnus Brevik is reported to face a suspension of up to 18 months.
- Brevik has blamed the International Ski Federation and a broader ski jumping culture for the manipulations, a stance Raimund and Geiger dismiss outright.
- Governing bodies have introduced new disciplinary tools, including yellow and red cards that allow event-level suspensions, as the World Cup opens on 21 November in Lillehammer.
