Skiing's regulatory body rejects 'wild rumor' ski jumpers are enhancing anatomy to gain distance

The regulatory body for skiing on Friday dismissed as a “wild rumor” reports that ski jumpers are enhancing their groin area to gain distance as the Winter Olympics begins. A report by the German tabloid Bild last month suggested some ski jumpers were injecting hyaluronic acid in their genitals or wearing a condom-like sheath before undergoing rigorous checks on ski-suit sizing. The newspaper said the manipulation would justify wearing a larger ski jump suit that could provide more lift and a longer flight to capture medals.
