Overview

  • The Norwegian Ski Federation has terminated the employment of team trainer Magnus Brevig, assistant coach Thomas Lobben, and service staff Adrian Livelten for their involvement in the suit tampering scandal.
  • The controversy stems from manipulated ski suits used during the March Trondheim World Championships, which included prohibited stability bands for enhanced in-flight control.
  • Sports director Jan Erik Aalbu previously admitted to the rule violations, which implicated top athletes Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang, both of whom were disqualified.
  • A thorough internal procedure preceded the dismissals, with the federation deeming the individuals' actions incompatible with their roles on the national team.
  • The International Ski Federation (FIS) continues its investigation into the case, with findings expected to be finalized by the summer.
