Three more ski jumpers have been suspended in a cheating scandal. The International Ski and Snowboard Federation says Robin Pederson, Kristoffer Sundal and Robert Johansson have been provisionally suspended due to suspicion of manipulation of equipment. They follow the suspensions on Wednesday of Olympic gold medalists, Marius Lindvik and Johann André Forfang. FIS says it has been asked to seize all jump suits used by Norway at the world championships in Trondheim last week and found no irregularities in those used by women's or combined men's and women's teams. But it says findings "raised additional suspicions of manipulation" and led to the suspensions of Pederson, Sundal and Johansson. They are suspended from all events organized by FIS or national ski associations.
