The Norwegian Ski Federation has suspended three members of staff amid a cheating scandal that has rocked the organization.

The Norwegian ski team has suspended three staff members following allegations of cheating at the World Championships in Planica, Slovenia. The controversy centers around the use of illegal fluorinated ski wax, which was banned by the International Ski Federation (FIS) due to its environmental impact. The implicated staff members include the head of the service team, a wax technician, and a junior team coach. The Norwegian Ski Association (NSF) has initiated an internal investigation, and the staff members have been sent home from the championships. This incident has raised concerns about the integrity of the sport, especially as Norway is a dominant force in cross-country skiing. The NSF has emphasized that the athletes were not involved in the scandal, and they continue to compete. The situation has led to discussions about the enforcement of the new wax rules and the potential for further sanctions.
