I’m not reading this to find out, but if the three month ban for a winter sport is Aug-Oct, well lol

Well ski jumping already starts in the beginning of August since they can also land on artificial grass pitches. It’s a separate competition called the “Summer Grand Prix”

There’s this thing called the equator… and believe it or not, everywhere south of it… the seasons are the OPPOSITE of yours. Mind blowing, right?

“FIS said Lindvik and Forfang, who were provisionally suspended in March, "were not charged with actual knowledge of the manipulations," but that they "should have checked and asked questions about the night-time adjustments.”

So they literally had no hand in alterations. This is the dumbest punishment ever
