President of the Russian Skating Union Nikolai Guliaev said that athletes who work as couriers do not participate in central training, and in their free time after training, everyone has the right to do whatever they want.
Several speed skaters, including Russian Team Sprint Cup winner Evgeny Zharov, earn extra money delivering food.
— How did you perceive the story that some speed skaters were working undeclared as couriers?
— They are not athletes of the Russian national team. All this falls within the competence of the trainers. Everyone has the right to do what they want. But if you play sports and come to training camp, you have to do this first. Well, in their free time, everyone is free to do whatever they want.
— But the criticism is this: are athletes really that short of money?
— It’s difficult for me to comment on what’s happening in the regions; the athlete is not from the national team. “He does not undergo centralized training,” Gulyaev told .
