Olympians Marius Lindvik and Johann Andre Forfang have been suspended after it was deemed their ski suits had been altered

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.

All five members of the men’s team who competed at the world championships were found to have cheated and have now been suspended, along with their head coach and two staffers.
