Oslo (Norway) - The ski jumping season is over, but the scandal surrounding the manipulated suits of the Norwegians is still reverberating. One of the suspended athletes is now making serious accusations against the world federation (FIS), but also against the German press.

Robin Pedersen (28) opens up to the portal"RanaBlad" and describes the events surrounding the "Raw Air Show" in Oslo, which was part of the World Cup in March.

While the two top jumpers Johann André Forfang (29) and Marius Lindvik (26) were suspended directly at the World Cup, Pedersen, Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal (24) and Robert Johansson (35) were suspended during the event. German media organizations are allegedly to blame.

"There are rumors that the German press threatened to boycott Raw Air if all Norwegians were not removed from the World Cup. They were trying to capitalize to get a few more medals. We three athletes are easy to ostracize when it comes to millions in TV rights," the Norwegian fires sharply.

During the Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim, a video surfaced showing the Norwegians' suits being sewn, and the officials officially admitted to the fraud a day later. A tape was allegedly sewn into the suit to increase the wing area in the air.

After it became known, the suits were sent to Switzerland for inspection. Robin Pedersen criticizes the fact that the athletes did not know anything about the exact time.

They were also assured that they would be allowed to be present when the suits were checked in Oberhofen, Switzerland (headquarters of the FIS), but nothing came of it.

Moreover, nothing has been found to date. "What they accuse us of is not valid. All independent lawyers have established that they have nothing against us," Pedersen complains.

He also criticizes the world federation's communication and approach. "They have all the power. They control who is allowed to jump, they control the equipment, they control the product. If there is anything that goes against their wishes, they simply do what they want," says Pedersen.

He can claim that his suit is free of any fraud, he sewed it himself. After the "Raw Air", the suspension of the jumpers was lifted, but Pedersen can't forget the way he and his teammates treated him.

For the new season, he hopes for a "proper" set of rules that will be better and easier to deal with.
