Norwegian ski jumpers Lindvik and Forfang have been suspended as suit tampering scandal escalates

Now ski jumping has its own scandal that escalated Wednesday. Cheating by Norway team officials manipulating ski suits has shaken a national reputation for fair play and high-minded principles at their home Nordic world championships, where the host team dominated the medal table. Two Olympic gold medalists, Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang, had denied involvement since the allegations emerged at the weekend but were suspended Wednesday and put under formal suspicion in an investigation overseen by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS).
