The controversy has gone on for several months, and does not seem to be destined to end soon: the multiple World Champion of Falun does not seem willing to terminate the contract with its main sponsor Coop, while the policy of the Norwegian federation require its athletes not have trade agreements with competitors to the FIS.
However, it remains likely that we will achieve an agreement similar to that of last season: Northug to give up his sponsor for the period from 24 November 2015 to 7 April 2016, thus being able to participate in the World Cup and the events of the first multistage level. Otherwise, however, it would give to all the & rsquo; winter to the long distance races, possibility & agrave; not too remote Whereas in 2015-16 there are no main event has always been his primary goal.
L & rsquo; & egrave only certainty; that even an agreement between the parties & egrave; It found, as pointed out by S ø rum Lang & aring; s, the 29 year-old manager of Levanger: & ldquo; I have no directive in order to conclude the negotiations with the federation & rdquo ;. Words also confirmed by the President of the Committee of the Norwegian cross-country skiing Thorbjorn Skogstad: & ldquo; There & rsquo; & egrave; yet any kind of clarification & rdquo ;.
