Ski jumping scandal: Norwegians temporarily blocked at WM for fraud!

The world of sport seems to sink into chaos! Formula 2 has violent allegations of fraud that could cloud the coming season. During test drives on the Circuit de Barcelona, ​​the commissioners discovered unauthorized modifications on the cars of Dams, Trident and Rodin. Holes were drilled into the diffusers to install air pressure sensors, which is regarded as a clear manipulation of the regulations. All six drivers, even those who were not active in the tests, were occupied with a penalty of ten places for the first race in Melbourne. In addition, the teams concerned have to pay a fine of 10,000 euros, such as laola1.at reported.

But that's not all! Alarm level is also red in ski jumping. The World Association FIS has four top athletes, including the Olympic champion Marius Lindvik, and their trainers temporarily blocked after a borderline scandal about manipulated suits. According to FIS, the incident is "extremely worrying and disappointing". Manipulation could have given the Norwegians a significant advantage because their suits were illegally processed. These serious violations have not only raised questions about sporting integrity, but also reinforced skepticism compared to the FIS, which is responsible for controlling these processes. According to welt.de and introducing new controls.

The sporting community is divided - while some, like Andreas Wellinger, consider manipulation as a serious threat to honest sport, others try to put the incidents into perspective. The questions of what will happen to the World Cup results and whether there is a more comprehensive scandal are still in the room. Both Formula 2 and ski jumping are in a crisis that could shake the trust of the fans and athletes.
