Norwegian ski jumping coaches banned for 18 months

Three Norwegian ski jumping officials have been banned from the sport for 18 months. The International Ski Federation (FIS) announced the suspension of head coach Magnus Brevig, assistant coach Thomas Lobben, and equipment manager Adrian Livelten. The trio was involved in a cheating scandal during the ski jumping World Championships. They must also each pay a fine of approximately 55,000 kronor. The scandal was uncovered in March last year when Norway admitted to cheating with their suits at the championships. FIS had recommended the suspension this summer.
