Ski jumpers are doing what?

The Winter Olympics has long been a battleground for marginal gains. Just look at the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) banning the new helmets Great Britain had planned to wear next week due to their aerodynamic ridges.

Thursday, however, took things to a new level in Milan Cortina — ski jumpers allegedly injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid in order to fly that little bit further.

The claims were originally reported in German newspaper Bild, in January on the eve of the latest Winter Olympics beginning in Italy and subsequently addressed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) president Witold Banka during a press conference.

So far, so lurid, but there is science behind the allegations. Injecting the penis with acid would increase its size and give the ski jumpers bigger genitalia at the point their suits are measured by 3D scanners.

Temporarily enhanced measurements would theoretically mean athletes being given a bigger, looser suit and, like a sail catching wind, could allow them to make longer jumps. Research from the scientific journal, Frontiers, published last October said that a 2cm change in a suit represented an extra 5.8 metres in the length of a jump.

So uh.....where might one purchase this hyaluronic acid stuff?

Asking for a friend.

The Norwegians got busted for doctoring their suits recently too.

"I need a looser suit to make room for my magnum dong."

Oh why can’t Dick Pound be the head of WADA right now.

I'm not sure that juice is worth the squeeze.

The flying penises. Sounds like a circus act.

They are injecting their penises with hardening compounds to act as upside down sails in their suits?
