[edit] 2006 Norwegian Airspace

I have removed the paragraph regarding the Norwegian airspace violations during the 2006 race for the following reasons:

1) There were no violations issued by the Norwegian authorities
2) Additional airspace issues (Finland) were not documented on the page while the Norwegian incident was documented.
3) Alleged issues from previous events were not documented.
4) I don't think the page should become an repository for all alleged violations that may (or may not) have occurred during the races, so as to satisfy points 2) and 3) above.

When the paragraph was added to the page during the event, I was concerned that it might be a bit off topic, but agreed to leave it at the time because of the news source cited and it's severity. However, because of my 4 points above, especially 1), my opinion is that it should be removed.
