OK, so rather like the cases that brought down Johaug and all the asthmatic cross country skiers about a decade back? They have been pushing the rules to the limit to get results.  Not strictly illegal, but unsporting, like cycling team attacking after a crash has brought down the yellow jersey?

That's just a matter of etiquette, basically, whereas this is willfully going against the rules.

I am asthmatic. I won with this disease but in childhood almost died 3 times. One i remember. Believe me, if you have asthma steroids wont help you wining gold. This is like an absurd. You use them when you have a attack, to literaly breathe. But Europe was buying this. Many things. Clear it was systematical state cheating with doctors, some people at central level, oh cmon. Easy things are easy, hope that polish voice will become better heard.  Edit, former jumpers from Norway confirmed they were also cheating. So this is system cheating for years. Very sad.

Hm, now there is some short movie with Kraft i think, made by some Norwegian test jumper. Maybe we don't have any problems, maybe just together with Japan we don't cheat. I think we have to consider this scenario as realistic for the first time.
