The Norwegian Ski Federation has suspended two staff, including the team coach, after the governing body admitted that the country's ski jumping team cheated by manipulating jumpsuits at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim. The federation said its ski jumping committee requested the suspension of national team coach Magnus Brevik and equipment manager Adrian Livelten after two Norwegian athletes were disqualified on Saturday. Acting General Secretary Ola Keul said the two's suspension was immediate and would remain in force until further notice. "The information that has emerged so far about the events... is so serious that it provides grounds for suspending their employment," the federation said in a statement on Monday. Stine Korsen, the chair of the ski jumping committee, said that Norway would welcome an investigation by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) into the cheating. "We take this matter very seriously and recognise that equipment has been deliberately manipulated in violation of FIS regulations in order to gain an advantage in the competition," Korsen added. Bine Norcic will act as coach while Brevik is suspended, the federation said.
