Marius Lindvik and Johann Andre Forfang will therefore not be able to jump as planned in this week's World Championship competitions in Holmenkollen. Also, national team coach Magnus Brevig, assistant coach Thomas Lobben, and serviceman Adrian Livelten are suspended. All three have already been relieved of their duties in Norway's Ski Association pending the investigation.

As part of the investigation, Fis has requested all suits used by Norwegian jumpers during the recently concluded World Championship in Trondheim.

Marius Lindvik was stripped of his silver and Johann Andre Forfang was disqualified from his fifth place in the VM. This after it was revealed that an extra and stiffer thread had been sewn in under the seam in the jumpers' competition suits.
