Duo must leave after World Cup
Suit scandal: First suspensions now!
The suit scandal at the Nordic World Ski Championships has consequences: As the Norwegian Ski Association announced, coach Magnus Brevig and suit tailor Adrian Livelten are suspended!
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "I have requested that Brevig and Livelten be suspended with immediate effect in accordance with the provisions of the Norwegian Health and Safety at Work Act," says Ola Keul, Secretary General of the Norwegian Ski Association. The federation thus drew the first consequences from the suit fraud, which sports director Jan Erik Aalbu had confessed to on Sunday under growing pressure.
Suits manipulated
Anonymously filmed videos leaked to the media have been causing a stir in ski jumping since Saturday. The footage shows how the Norwegian team manipulated the competition suits in the presence of Brevig in an inadmissible manner. The hosts sewed a stiff band into their suits, giving them a wingsuit effect after the jump. Marius Lindvik, who originally came second, and Johann Andre Forfang were subsequently disqualified from the large hill singles.
The FIS set up a commission of inquiry to find out whether other ski jumping and Nordic combined competitions were affected.
In any case, the federation has already lost money, as one of the six main sponsors of the Norwegian Ski Jumping Association is withdrawing from the sponsorship agreement with immediate effect, wrote VG. It is not compatible to have the logo on the jerseys of a team that cheats, according to the now former supporter, a law firm.
