Harri-saga has again new turns:

Newest, official, word is, that Harri is not suspended and has every chance to be back at World Cup. NiemelÀ wants to clarify that Harri is not in Kuopio because of the punishment FIS gave and will not be at Lillehammer because he has not jumped well enough. And if Harri wants to succeed and be back at World Cup he needs to have good results at Continental Cup and after that he can come back to World Cup.
Even in press the "you should not kick one on the ground too long"-instincts has begun to come up. Iltalehti of all papers moralizes other press and people on message boards for kicking when one is on the ground already and praises other jumpers (Ville, Kalle and Matti) of being extremely discreet when asked about Harri. Also Kantee and NiemelÀ are refraining from elaborating what was wrong with Harri's behaviour (and thus not giving any stones for anyone to throw at.) Only Tommi Nikunen is still giving hard blows (he tells that Harri lacks two basic human attributes, conscience and respect of others and that he is very happy he doesn't need to have anything to do with Harri.)
It's either so that they have decided that Harri has already gotten enough stick and they need to start to wave carrots or that Harri is in the bad shape and they know that and don't want to make suffering worse any more. Impossible to say which this is but the tone has certainly become more diplomatic.
