In fact since dall''estate & nbsp; is & egrave; lost legal certainty Since & eacute; during the Summer Grand Prix & egrave; was the long jump with a Norwegian team of undergarment clearly irregular. AFTER THAT & eacute; in winter they are views of the sorts of things with dozens of athletes who skipped using suits very abundant, but never get entangled in the mesh of the controls.
Therefore dall''estate 2015 over the system used so far, which is to monitor athletes sample after their jump, you will & agrave; an additional control on departure.
Before each jump sar & agrave; measured the inseam length of each athlete and not sar & agrave; possible changes in the suit after the measurement. This procedure will & agrave; tested during the 'summer and autumn decider & agrave; if you propose it again in the World Cup in 2015 - '' 16.
The decision of the FIS shows therefore that, in spite of statements of fact about the regularity & agrave; competitions, the system of controls had been permanently bypassed. This measure goes in the right direction, but will & agrave; enough to flush out the irregularities & agrave; in all parts of the suit?
To make two striking examples Norwegians have become masters nell''allargare the 'equipment in the shoulder area, while Koudelka was usually tinkering with the femur just once in pole starting. Not to mention dell''utilizzo of Nomex or other tricks.
In any case it is an important starting point. The FIS has recognized the 'existence of a problem of credibility & agrave; about the controls and, more & ugrave; importantly, there seems to be the will & agrave; to solve it.
