Former Russian national team biathlete Alexey Volkov told that after the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, he immediately sold the foreign car he had donated because he wanted to buy another car.
Volkov won relay gold at the 2014 Sochi Olympics with Evgeniy Ustyugov, Dmitry Malyshko and Anton Shipulin. But their result could be overturned if the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejects the appeal in Ustyugov’s case for using a banned substance.
— There was no party after the relay?
– Well, what kind of celebrations are there? We sat in our circle, discussed it – and that’s it. We poured all our emotions out on the track. I just wanted to lay down and relax, there was some kind of devastation.
—And then they had a party? Still, a long-awaited victory in the relay race.
– Only if later, during meetings with leaders in Moscow.
“Then they put the cars back. What is the fate of your Mercedes Benz?
– I sold it immediately.
– For what?
— I wanted another one (laughs). I took the Porsche Panamera. Before the Olympics, I told myself: “If I win a medal, I will buy the car I want. » That was my reward, and then I rewarded myself.
— Is Porsche still with you?
“No, I sold it too,” Volkov told .
