How Can We Help?
Vegard Høidalen (born 10 May 1971 in Skien) is a former professional beach volleyball player from Norway who twice represented his native country at the Summer Olympics: 2000 and 2004. Partnering with Jørre Kjemperud, he won the bronze medal in the men's beach team competition at the 2001 Beach Volleyball World Championships in Klagenfurt, Austria.
Høidalen was for a period in 2008 suspended from beach volleyball, because of three violations within an 18-month period of Antidoping Norge's requirements regarding athlete availability for out-of-competition testing, which includes failure to provide whereabouts information. Høidalen was critical to how the system works.[3]
