The World Anti-Doping Agency could investigate if evidence emerges that male ski jumpers are injecting their penises in a bid to improve sporting performance.<\/b><\/p>\n

In January, German newspaper Bild, external<\/span><\/a> reported that jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid before being measured for their suits.<\/p>\n

Hyaluronic acid, which is not banned in sport, can be used to increase penis circumference by one or two centimetres<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This would increase the surface area of their suits during competition, which, according to FIS, the international ski and snowboard federation, could increase their flight in the air.<\/p>\n

“Every extra centimetre on a suit counts. If your suit has a 5% bigger surface area, you fly further,” said FIS ski jumping men’s race director Sandro Pertile.<\/p>\n

Asked about the claims in Bild at a press conference at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Wada director general Olivier Niggli said: “I am not aware of the details of ski jumping, and how that could improve performance. <\/p>\n

“If anything was to come to the surface, we would look at it and see if it is doping related. We don’t address other [non-doping] means of enhancing performance.”<\/p>\n

Clearly entertained by the question, Wada’s Polish president Witold Banka joked: “Ski jumping is very popular in Poland so I promise you I’m going to look at it.”<\/p>\n

FIS communications director Bruno Sassi told BBC Sport: “There has never been any indication, let alone evidence, that any competitor has ever made use of a hyaluronic acid injection to attempt to gain a competitive advantage.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
