Three more Norwegian ski jumpers were suspended on Thursday in a widening cheating scandal that has shocked the sport.

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.

It was revealed in video secretly recorded from behind a curtain then sent by a whistleblower to international media. An FIS official said the illegal alterations were subsequently confirmed by tearing apart the seams of the crotch area on the ski suits in question.
