Doping chiefs vow to probe ‘penis injection’ claimsAFP, MILAN, ItalyAnti-doping chiefs at the Winter Olympics on Thursday said that they they would investigate bizarre claims that Olympic ski jumpers are injecting hyaluronic acid into their penises to get a competitive advantage. The claims, first reported in the German media, are based on the theory that adjustments to ski jumpers’ body suits, especially around the groin, can create the effect of a sail that can add meters to a jump. Two Norwegians were given three-month suspensions last year after the team was found to have adjusted the seams of their suits around the crotch area at the World Ski Championships. Norway’s Marius Lindvik competes in the ski jumping men’s World Cup large hill event in Willingen, Germany, on Saturday last week. Such injections are not medically indicated and are associated with risks,” he added.
