Elaborate
People were injecting shit into their dicks so when they got measured for their uniform, they'd have more material in the crotch to help get air on the long jump. I'm probably misremembering the exact figures, but they calculated that something like an extra inch of material in the uniform could translate to up to 5 extra meters in a ski jump. So they had penis inspectors checking to make sure competitors weren't plumping their pricks.
Allegations of ski jumpers using penis enlargement injections in order to get more surface area during their measurements for their suits. As far as I know, no credible evidence of this actually happening though.
If there's no credible evidence for the elaborate story, then I default to something simpler like insecure guys injecting saline to look bigger on TV while wearing their skin tight suits.
