They think anti-doping officials need to be paid. Anti-doping Norway chief executive Anders Solheim said, "If you sell TV rights for this arrangement for billions of dollars, then we think it's wrong that we pay for Norwegian doping controllers to help with the controls. An inspector should receive a reasonable salary and his trip paid for the three weeks he or she will be there. By not paying doping controllers, the organisers are "de facto" relying on volunteers. Anti-doping work should not be a voluntary profession for those who want to. It is downplaying the priority of our work, and we are tired of it." Para-Nordic skiing. Skiers.

The lowest common denominator (also least common denominator and LCD) is the least common multiple of the denominators (bottom parts) of a group of fractions. It makes it easier to add, subtract, and compare fractions. The LCD of formula_1 and formula_2 is 6. This is because formula_1 and formula_2 equal formula_5 and formula_6. 6 is the smallest number that can be at the bottom of both of those fractions. The same thing also works with variables:  formula_7
