The International Ski Federation (FIS) is actively trying to dispel rumors regarding a supposed scandal involving male ski jumpers and the use of hyaluronic acid injections to enhance penis size. This allegation first emerged from a report by the German newspaper Bild, which claimed that athletes might use these injections for better fit and performance, as a larger suit could theoretically enhance their flight properties.

The story gained momentum at the beginning of the Olympics when it was reported that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was investigating the claims. In response to the situation, FIS's communications chief, Bruno Sassi, emphasized that these rumors are unfounded and have been based entirely on hearsay without any credible evidence. He underscored that at no point has any legitimate proof surfaced that any competitor has utilized such injections to achieve a competitive advantage.

Sassi’s statements aim to clarify the situation and reassure the public and the athletes that the integrity of the sport remains intact. He indicated that the stories circulating are driven by misinformation and do not reflect the reality of doping regulations and practices in the sport. As the Olympics continue, this scandal could serve to highlight the broader issues of performance-enhancing substances in sports, despite the FIS's efforts to control the narrative around the issue and prevent any lingering doubts about athlete integrity during the games.
