Lara Malsiner, the best Italian, broke the cruciate and meniscus of her left knee after a fall in Courchevel. The Italian will miss the entire season, including the Olympics at home

More importantly than Lindvik and Forfang: how about the people guilty of the suit cheating scandal itself?

Seems to be no verdict on that yet - Lindvik and Forfang have basically pled guilty and accepted the verdict, whereas it looks like the other case is still enriching lawyers.

Hopefully those will be harsher. Lindvik and Forfang have basically accepted that they should have questioned the changes more (and got a ban which certain top level athletes in sports like tennis get for doping offenses...), whereas the idea to make the changes and actually do them is of course a much worse offense and should result in a 1-2 year ban or something.

There is also the question of whether the Techs were acting under orders from Team Management, so we would be looking at a Russian-type National ban.....if the FIS have the courage.

Only 20 days from March, the rest from the day of the decision. They can't compete until early November so they just skip the rest of the summer and return for the World Cup.

I highly doubt that. There is still a (rather big) difference between team management deciding something, or actual full-on state-sponsored doping ordered, orchestrated and directly paid for by the actual national government.
