So now it seems like the dispute is between him and Marina, not the skaters.
Huh? Could explain a bit more about that, please?Zoueva has a history of sending condemning letters. She is the pro.

She wrote a letter to Russian club CSKA about Stanislav Zhuk saying that he is an alcoholic and was harsh with his students. That might be true- I don't know. But I saw in an interview from a Russian documentary a few years ago that she also complained that he is "hitting" on/tried to molest his female students which was not true. However, the letter forced him to retire. That came as a great hit to Zhuk as his health deteriorated quickly after that.
So the press tries to contact D/W and V/M but not the Shibs, like they would tell them anything as of now. Wouldn't it be easier to pump something out of the young ones?
Macassar88 said:Actually, no attempt to contact Tessa either. Just Meryl, Charlie and Scott.
That doesn't surprise me. Ever see interviews with V/M? She never answers any questions.
Why is Shpilband so shocked if even the USFSA has been apprised of the problems at the rink since over a month ago? It's not just some skaters not happy with the job he was doing. The management wanted him gone from the club all together.
