3 nye norske hoppere suspenderes

Også de tre andre norske hopperne på det norske laget til storbakke-konkurransen er suspendert etter at det er funnet uregelmessigheter i hoppdressene.

FIS har kommet med følgende pressemelding:

«Oberhofen am Thunersee, 12 March 2025 – Following yesterday’s announcement of five

provisional suspensions, today FIS has notified another three athletes of Norway’s Men’s Ski Jumping team that they are under investigation by the FIS Ethics and Compliance Office for their alleged involvement in illegal equipment manipulation.

Robin Pedersen, Kristoffer Sundal, and Robert Johansson, members of the Norwegian team that competed at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships Trondheim 2025, are provisionally suspended, with immediate effect, from participating in FIS events and events organized by a National Ski Association.

Upon request from the external investigators of the FIS Independent Ethics and Compliance Office, on Tuesday, 11 March, FIS seized all the jumping suits used by Norwegian teams in Trondheim 2025 – in both Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined, in both the men’s and women’s competitions.

These seized suits were submitted to an inspection, which found no irregularities in the equipment used by the Women’s Ski Jumping team and by both the Men’s and Women’s Nordic Combined teams. However, the suits used by the Men’s Ski Jumping team raised additional suspicions of manipulation, which have resulted in the provisional suspensions announced today.
