Famous children’s hockey coach Gennady Kurdin, in an interview with , expressed his opinion on the return of the American striker to the KHL Rida Bush who is involved in a sex scandal and received a suspended sentence.
– What do you think of the fact that Avangard signed a contract with Reed Boucher, who ended up in a sex scandal with a 12-year-old schoolgirl? Will this cast a shadow over the reputation of the Omsk club?
“It was not a prison criminal who killed a man. Bush received a suspended sentence. Thus, the court gave him the opportunity to correct himself. So let him play in the KHL.
I don’t see any problem here. And club and league leaders bear responsibility for reputational risk. I hope they will solve this problem between themselves. And I’m not going to be a judge here, to stigmatize someone. When Bush entered this story, he was 17 years old. We don’t know what was there. And why did this girl start blaming him only 10 years later. Apparently she wanted to make money.
Last season, Bush played for Yaroslavl Lokomotiv. After the details of the scandal with his participation became known, the club terminated the contract with the American.
