Overview
- FIS suspended head coach Magnus Brevik, assistant coach Thomas Lobben and suit technician Adrian Livelten for 18 months and ordered CHF 5,000 each toward costs, with the bans backdated to the 2025 worlds and set to end in September.
- Secretly filmed footage from Trondheim showed restitched suits that increased size for longer flights, with inspectors confirming the alterations only by opening crotch seams.
- An independent panel led by sports lawyer Michael Beloff endorsed the sanctions and wrote that cheating is fundamentally incompatible with sport.
- Olympic champions Johann André Forfang and Marius Lindvik previously accepted three-month bans and have since returned to World Cup competition ahead of the Games.
- Lawyers for the trio called the decision disproportionately strict and said it marks a new, tougher line in ski jumping, with the option to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport within 21 days.
