The skiers tried to find an extra edge to fly farther by adjusting the crotch of their suits. “We regret it like dogs,” the team’s coach said.

Norwegian Olympic medal-winning ski jumpers Marius Lindvik and Johann Andre Forfang and three team officials are provisionally suspended for using manipulated suits to "cheat the system".

Team officials are accused of altering athletes' suits to enhance their aerodynamics. The suspension by International Ski and Snowboard Federation (IFS) follows last week's FIS Nordic World Ski Championships.
