A below-the-belt scandal is giving ski jumping extra lift as some competitors in the winter sport are reportedly manipulating their genital size in order to gain an aerodynamic edge over their rivals.
Professional ski jumpers are artificially enlarging the genital area before official measurements by using substances such as hyaluronic acid — sometimes placed in a silicone, condom-like sleeve — to boost crotch dimensions, according to the German publication Bild.
The enlarged genital area allows athletes to wear a slightly bigger ski jumping suit that generates more lift and improve aerodynamic — which in turn can add critical meters in flight.
