And where were your protests when an "anonymous Russian coach" started his/her own rumor via L'Equipe? I don't recall either of you saying Shame on that person then.
I agree with you. Shame on that person, too. Sometimes the Russians want to bad things for their champions for their teams etc. This is my experience. If that would be true what the anonymus Rusian coach said, why did s/he told to the L'Equipe???? Wanted a big controversy for own country again??? And with this rumour s/he probably deprived Russia of a medal...
The Russian sport journalism like the tabloids...****...

"In Russia, a lot of bad politics is done by people who go to journalists and tell them bad stories about other people," she said. "They want to ruin skaters' careers to take profit for their own goals."
