In the recent competitions, Karl Geiger attempted to outsmart fans regarding his ski suit. Recently, there has been much discussion surrounding the suits of the Norwegian team due to suspensions issued by FIS for manipulations related to their uniforms. However, attention has now shifted to Geiger's suit, which appears suspicious as he sits on the take-off ramp. In Vikersund, he even tried to hide a distinctive bulge in his suit, but it was clearly visible during his attempts.

The incident was recorded by television cameras, drawing further public attention to the behavior of the German skier. While Geiger managed to pass through all checks without issue, FIS has since mandated that they will store athletes' uniforms to prevent any attempts at manipulation following a scandal that emerged after the championship in Trondheim.

The cameras revealed Geiger trying to cover the peculiar bulge with his hand, but this was unsuccessful as it remained noticeable when he prepared to launch off the ramp.

This situation highlights growing frustrations among fans who are now more vigilant regarding the uniforms worn by all competitors following the Norwegian team's controversies. With Geiger under the microscope, scrutiny is higher than ever as athletes prepare for upcoming events.
