Scandal of week.
Scandal of week.
Be afraid Tajvanchika, gifts of the bringing.
The figure skating world hoots as the disturbed beehive. Noise around
Hypothetical intervention Alimzhana Tohtahunova in
Distribution of medals to the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City just right to name
"The Taiwan crisis" in one of the most refined and
The spiritualised kinds of sports.
All occurs on a proverb "do not awake dashing while it is silent".
Canadians Fat and Pellete have received the second gold, has cried Ira
Slutsky, the president of the International union of skaters Ottavio
CHinkuanta proanonsiroval reform in refereeing in figure skating...
On a nose the new season, Olympic passions like should settle.
And here as the bolt from the blue has arisen certain Tajvanchik, yes not
Somebody, and the head of the "Euroasian" mafia.
Sacred innocence was represented from itself by the president International
Olympic committee Jacque Rogge. As he said, headed by it
The organisation is literally shocked by news about the assumed
Influence of the organised crime on judges on figure skating:
"It became for us full revelation, and we in horror. To such kind
Criminal activity as payoff of judges, is not present a place in the Olympic
Movement. Therefore in MOK the termination legal will wait
Process then corresponding actions "will follow.
It has appeared, that absolutely same feelings and thoughts has tested and
CHinkuanta, servilely added: "ISU it will be attentive
To watch the charges shown by the American justice, and
It is ready to co-operate on this business with all interested
Justice bodies. The union will support also full contact
And to carry out close cooperation with MOK ".
The first reaction in a management of the Russian sports was more
It is similar to the ostrich's. For ostentatious lihostju it is felt any
Confusion. Chairman Goskomsporta of Russia Vyacheslav Fetisov
Has named all event "nonsense". The president of Olympic committee
Leonid Tjagachev has considered, that there was "a ridiculous accident". As
Leonid Vasilevich confirms, he never saw this person
(Tohtahunova. - Century L), any relations with the Olympic command
On figure skating at that was not. However, circumspectly
Has added: "Perhaps now"business"have grasped because were
Any meetings after the Olympic Games ".
In Federation of figure skating of Russia about Tohtahunove,
Naturally, too heard nothing. And from comments
Abstain, as the president of federation Valentine Piseev
Stays abroad and to Moscow comes back only today.
It is interesting, that representatives of the higher French sports
Instances behaved absolutely similarly. But surprisingly another -
Are frightened both Americans, and Canadians. In the Federation communique
Figure skating of the USA it is spoken: "We are surprised by the message on arrest
The person suspected of a juggling of results of the Olympic
Tournament of figure skaters ". To the representative of Canadian federation Merilin
CHajdlou possibility of external pressure upon judges seems simply
The improbable. And its chief Michael Chambers though has assumed, that
There is a communication of sports and kriminala, but hopes, what is it
Single instance.
But a disavowing, of course, the optimum form of behaviour in the given
Situations to recognise it is impossible. The situation should be rescued. Aforistichnee
Others theses in protection of sportsmen - and indirectly judges and
Functionaries of figure skating - has formulated the well-known trainer
Elena Chajkovskaja: "the Russian and French duets have done without
Assistance. They were better than the contenders on
The competitions previous the Olympic Games, also have proved it in the USA ".
(Elena Berezhnaja is a question of Olympic champions to sports pair
- Anton Siharulidze and dancers Marina Anisina - Gvendal Pejzera).
Meanwhile too at many in connection with business Tohtahunova has appeared
The interest. Become after the winter Olympic Games not less well-known,
Than the best figure skaters of the world, French judge Mari-Ren Le Gun,
Discharged of refereeing till 2006, like already would reconcile with
Inevitability. Also has sat down for memoirs to open to the eye world on
Dark pages in figure skating. It is thought, now it is necessary to it
To copy some heads. Anyway its former lawyer
American Max Miller names now it "a small small fish",
Which "sharks" of not free big from corruption try to eat
Sports. Though, according to other lawyer Le Gun, Eric
Kristiansena, "shark" Tohtahunova Mari-Ren "never saw,
Has never heard, never met ".
The American mass-media from giving of the officials allocated with powers
Again have reanimated the worn out plot about insidiousness of Russian mafia.
"The long hand of the Russian organised crime was stretched through ocean,
To create contractual result in Salt Lake City ". So has described
Essence of present business Tohtahunova at press conference in New York
The representative of FBI James Koumi. Well, in America too it is a lot of
Fans of soap operas.
To truncate languages to in a moment turned yellow transatlantic journalists
The first our figure skaters have tried. Elena Berezhnaja and Anton
Siharulidze have threatened, that are ready to bring an action against the American
The broadcasting companies, accompanied which their photos stories about
Acts of Russian mafia. The honour and advantage insult is available.
Therefore Anton so has hotly reacted to an event: "to Canadians and
It would be time to all North American brotherhood to calm down and be
Happy with that it and so have already presented gold medals ".
On this ugly history, in which along with Alimzhanom
Tohtahunovym the French figure skater of the Russian appears
Origins Marina Anisina, wishes to hammer together the political
kapitalets and others. The Italian federation of ice sports "with
Bitterness has apprehended "the fact of intervention for the purpose of manipulation
Separate competitions on figure skating on the Olympic Games in
Salt Lake City, in particular, poured out in plot against
Dancing pair Fuzar-weed - Margalo. If suspicions
Will prove to be true, tournament of figure skaters in Salt Lake City "becomes shameful
Page in sports history ". And ex-world champion Barbara
Fuzar-weed considers, that in case of acknowledgement of charges
"Last winter Olympic Games should be changed anew!".
Better the temperamental Italian would recollect the falling in
To any program. Therefore huge respect deserves
Behaviour Ili Averbuha. The former partner Anisinoj which has won in
Salt Lake City silver in steam with spouse Irina Lobachevoj,
Considers all this history as full nonsense. "However time in business
Now FBI, I will steadfastly watch its development, -
Sneers Ilja. - But whatever happens, we never will be
To cry and beg for a gold medal as it did Fat and
Pellete ".
For destiny most Tohtahunova too it is possible not to worry.
Italians because of a vacation will give out the Mafiosi to American justice,
Possibly, only by November. And five years of prison and 250 thousand
Dollars of the penalty which threaten it for a juggling of results on
To the Olympic Games, - real mizer in a track record of the 53-year-old native
Uzbekistan, nowadays the citizen of Israel.
Itself Tohtahunov asserts, that it in general in what not vinen, and
Its criminal past - a fairy tale. But now to it another is lovelier,
Very beautiful. Its one episode is connected with Paris, where Alimzhan
Tursunovich it was represented by the main Russian patron of art, the defender
Our business, and also art and sports. On arranged with it in
The Parisian hotel "the Prince Welsh" rewarding ceremonies by its award
Sacred Konstantin were present Joseph Kobzon, Vyacheslav Zajtsev and
Valenin Yudashkin, Paul Bure and... Marina Anisina. At presence
This dear company to shoulders Tohtahunova have assigned a white raincoat
With a red lining, the master has executed procedure of blessing by a sword,
And Joseph Kobzon has said sentimental spich.
In the same place Tohtahunov has told about the good affairs: "I always
In it I am engaged, all life. As since the morning has risen, and I do
Patronage of arts. You not me ask, ask people, which I
Helped, at art workers, sports... And I help - and at once
I forget ".
Probably, mister Tajvanchik as will easily forget the conversation with
Anisinoj which tape recording became the reason of it
Scandal. Whether however it is necessary to all of us to forget, as it is frequent places and
Medals in figure skating are distributed without dependence from that,
That occurs on ice. And as scrupulously it is necessary to concern all
To sponsor's money about which with such piety sportsmen speak
And officials. Eventually it is necessary to pay for them. As
Minimum, friendship or it is simple acquaintance to such person, as
Tajvanchik. Which owing to the status of very rich person
Quite (and it is almost disinterested) can offer a helping hand.
And to help... According to the former representations about
Honour.
