Winner and laureate of World Cup stages, speed skater Artem Arefiev admitted he was surprised at the attention to the story with the severed fingertips.
– I did not write anywhere that I cut my fingers, I did not say anywhere that I had some kind of serious career-ending injury, as it was presented in the media. Somewhere someone embellished something, but in the end everything grew. I just wrote a post, well, I cut my fingertips, it happens. But not the phalanges. And fifteen news sites I’ve never heard of force this information. Dmitry Anatolyevich Dorofeev (coach) wrote to me, the situation has become terrifying, to be honest, but, thank God, everything is not as bad as everyone thought. It’s a coincidence, I didn’t plan any kind of PR campaign,” Arefyev told reporters at the press center.
At the end of September, Arefiev wrote on his Telegram channel that he cut off two fingers of his left hand with an ax.
