Double Olympic champion, president of the St. Petersburg Biathlon Federation Dmitry Vasiliev in an interview with , he pointed out that the appointed vice-president of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU) Pavel Rostovtsev cannot exercise the functions of head coach of the national team.
Earlier, the RBU announced the appointment of three-time world champion Pavel Rostovtsev as vice-president of the organization with the duties of head coach Russian team .
– What does this mean with the main trainer feature? He is appointed by the SBR and not by the Ministry of Sports. All national team coaches are appointed and paid by order of the Ministry of Sports. But Rostovtsev was not appointed by the ministry. There was no such order for him. That is to say, he is not an employee of the Sports Training Center (STC), he cannot be entrusted with the duties of head coach. It’s absurd, a kind of sham.
What does it mean to have these responsibilities? Who are entrusted? President of the URB. But who in this case will listen to him? They are all employees of the CSP and the Ministry of Sports. Why should they report to an employee of a public body? How will they obey him? It’s absurd in the vertical power is obtained. Complete absurdity. It’s trickery – today I see it that way.
It is necessary to organize everything correctly: to receive an order from the Ministry of Sports on the appointment of the head coach of the Russian national team. And only then it will be possible to say that this functionality will be delegated to Rostovtsev. Otherwise it’s a sham,” Vasiliev told .
