International Figure Skating posted this item in a Facebook post, in the same post confirming Bobrova & Soloviev's missing the series:
"According to an article that came in via a Sochi 2014 alert, Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov are also withdrawing. He has an injury and said that Europeans would likely be their first competition."
There's also this post on a Tumblr dedicated to the pair: http://volosozhartrankov.tumblr.com/post/98120812422/really-bad-news-they-will-not-take-part-in-gp
Can anyone else confirm this? Perhaps on a Russian page or media?
