Robert Johansson is one of the Norwegians who are blocked at the World Ski jumping championship. No manipulation is determined on his suit. He is the first to the team to breathe his silence – and immediately divide it properly.

Ski jumping Olympic champion Robert Johansson broke his silence after the tronds’ suit scandal and made serious accusations to the World Association FIS. Together with his lawyer Nicolai Loland Dolva, the athlete commented in the Norwegian local newspaper “Gudbrandsdolen Dagningen” about the lock, which also affected him, although no manipulation was initially found on his suit.

“We have the feeling that Robert was suspended because he is Norwegian,” said Dolva. In this case, Norway’s Springer was “not treated as individual athletes with their legal interests and individual demands,” added the lawyer. The handling of Johansson is “completely unprecedented, in a negative sense”.

At the World Cup in Trondheim, the Norwegians had provided a fraud scandal with manipulated suits. The World Cup host equipped the suits with a volume banned according to the regulations, which should ensure more stability after the jump.

The suits were confiscated by the World Association according to the World Cup and, according to the World Association, should now be subjected to a new technical investigation. In addition to the two world champions Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang, whose suits were demonstrated, the FIS also blocked Robin Pedersen, Kristoffer Sundal and Johansson. After the end of the season, the FIS picked up the preliminary barriers.

The 35 -year -old Johansson complains enormous loss of income for the lock. He currently lives from his savings, the Norwegian told the local newspaper. According to FIS, the investigation in the World Cup scandal continues regardless of the lifting of the locks. The preliminary locks of three officials of the Norwegian ski jumping team, including coach Magnus Brevig, also exist.
