Norway Ski Jumper Retires as Investigation Into Teammates' Alleged Suit Cheating Continues

Robert Johansson, a former Olympic ski jumping champion, announced his retirement on Tuesday amid ongoing controversy.
His retirement came after he and his Norwegian teammates were suspended amid an ongoing probe conducted by the sport’s governing body into suspected cheating.
Johansson, who won gold in the 2018 Olympic team event and three World Cup competitions, stated the suspension prevented his season end participation.
In a TV2 interview aired Tuesday, Johansson said, "I feel like I’ve been suspended because I’m Norwegian," and his suit was reportedly checked and cleared before and after the Trondheim event.
His retirement and the continuing investigation imply ongoing disruption to Norwegian ski jumping and uncertainty over the case's outcome.
