Norway’s biathlon squad is facing an indecency probe after they stripped off to wave their genitals at female contestants in the sport’s World Cup in Russia.
Furious race organisers in Khanty-Mansiysk, Northern-Russia have reported the athletes to police after a video of the prank surfaced on Russian news website, Life.ru.
The video shows at least one man with his trousers clearly down – trying to distract the female skiers as they competed in heavy snow – but organisers said this was not the only instance throughout the race and that other men were involved.
The race involves athlete’s ski-ing long distances cross country before stopping to shoot at targets with sniper rifles.
‘They’re lucky with women didn’t take their revenge. They are crack shots, even with very small targets,’ said one race organiser.
The Biathlon is considered a serious sport in Russia and indecent behaviour during the race is treated as hooliganism.
A police spokesman said: ‘We are investigating a case of alleged hooliganism. We have video evidence from numerous people, which we will be analysing over the coming days to identify all those involved.
‘There is no disputing their actions, as we have it all on camera.’
‘We are investigating, but there will be punishments for those involved,’ said the police representative.
The Russian Biathlon Union are also looking into the event and will take disciplinary action as necessary against those involved they stated today.
Spokesperson Dmitry Aleksashin said: ‘Once we have finished our part of the investigation, we will send our findings to the International Biathlon Union.
