I remember watching him and Annenko competing in pro competitions. The husband of my dearest skating friend used to call Annenko "the goddess." I hope this incident is easily explained, but I fear that it will turn tangled very quickly.
Tatiana Tarasova gave her comments on Sretenski arrest to the Russian radio Vesti FM. She has been knowing him for years since his childhood, worked with him as a skater and later as a coach in Russia and in the US. She said she doesn't know how to teach skaters without touching them, and added that unfortunately such situations can be used by the parents of unsuccessful skaters. She didn't have such cases because all her pupils were professionals and understood how things work. She doesn't believe in any charges against Sretenski and she thinks it's some kind of revenge from one of his ex-student and/or her family.

The official site of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation reported that their office in US still didn't get the official notification from the American authorities regarding the arrest of the Russian citizen, which is a mandatory document. The consular section is denied to see him (no Russian is arrested since there is no notification for the Russian Embassy that he is arrested ), naturally they also didn't see the accusation lists or whatever they have. How many days is he under the lock and stil no paper for his Embassy? Oh, great.

Alas, *babmi eyes* . The link in question is not just one more interview of some skater. It's the official press Release of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the registered number and stuff. I am not authorized to translate such documents. The saddest part is I myself translate slightly better than a google translator. I can give you a more full summary where I retell with my own words in English what is written on the MID site. But I don't call it translation :thanks for the summary - can you give a full translation of the link? Please? *bambi eyes* I don't speak russian and we all know google translator is hit or miss
thanks for the summary! This whole case is just confusing it seems... I just hope truth is able to prevail - whatever that may be.
