I would think the discomfort/mental distraction of having an injected penis might negatively impact performance more than the theoretical scientific benefit.
What are you some kind of expert at having your penis injected?

If this theory really is true, we should make sprinters and jumpers wear the buns the women wear!

LaShawn was busy using various masking agents to hide the chemicals he used to gain literally 30 lbs and yet run faster. He tried to claim he was using wood boosters for ED problems. It was hilarious.
This excuse ranks up there with Shawn Barber (pole vault) failing a drug test that got him banned from the 2016 Olympics, but was allowed to compete after he successfully argued that he unknowingly ingested coke while kissing a woman he met on Craigslist the night before the Canadian Olympic trials. Barber’s excuse seemed to have some hint of genuine truth though because the Olympic committee bought it, and the woman testified that she did ingest it before their meeting, and that Barber’s Craigslist request specifically asked for the partner to be drug-free. Still, hilarious and humiliating to have to air out your dirty laundry in the public forum when confronted by a failed test.

What about breast enhancement in female ski jumpers? If they go after penis enhancement in men but not breast enhancement in women then it seem like a good case for sex discrimination.

What a crazy and also stupid thing to suggest.

Seems as though this wouldn’t help as much as many other adjustments.

Before the season, ski jumpers are subjected to mandatory body scans to determine the dimensions of their suits under the guidelines of the sport’s governing body, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS).The crotch measurement is taken from the lowest point of an athlete’s genitals, the German tabloid reported.
“If you manage to move that point downward, you automatically get more surface area on the suit,” Bild wrote, adding the extra fabric provides aerodynamic advantages that can translate into longer jumps.
Bild claimed some jumpers have allegedly used hyaluronic acid to temporarily enlarge the genital area ahead of the scan, sometimes by injecting the substance into a silicone, condom-like sheath worn inside the suit.
The N Y Post?!? Are you out of your mind? Why not waste your time reading the National Inquirer??

Bat Boy wouldn't have artificially enlarged his junk to win a competitive ski competition. He stood for something and believed in the integrity of sport.

So a lot of funny jokes, a lot of witticisms. 👏
However, I think most of you are missing the point- being "large down there" doesn't necessarily help. The trick is to be large during the suit measurement and not during the actual competition [ that second part is easy. It's freaking cold out on the top of that ramp]. That would allow you have a lot of, shall we say, wiggle room in the crotch area of the suit which apparently creates some sail-like effect allowing longer flight.
So the real question is - are erections allowed during body measuring/3D imaging? How the hell do they police that???
[ fun fact crotch measurers- *IT* ISN'T ALWAYS THE SAME SIZE AND IN FACT CAN BE MANY DIFFERENT SIZES AT DIFFERENT TIMES!! 🙄
What a "sport". Makes curling and luge look legit! 🤦♂️
