The Norwegian Ski Federation has suspended two members of staff amid a cheating scandal at the Nordic World Ski Championships that has rocked the organization.
Norway's national cross-country ski team has suspended two staff members, including the team leader, following allegations of cheating at the ongoing World Championships in Planica, Slovenia. The controversy centers around the use of illegal equipment, specifically fluorine wax, which is banned due to its environmental impact and potential health risks. The Norwegian Ski Association (NSA) confirmed the suspensions after discovering that the team had used fluorine wax on their skis, despite the ban. This incident has overshadowed Norway's success at the championships, where they have won multiple medals. The NSA has expressed regret over the situation and is conducting an internal investigation to understand the extent of the rule violations. The International Ski Federation (FIS) has also launched an inquiry into the matter, which could lead to further sanctions or disqualifications.
