russian biathlete Alexei Slepov in a conversation with a correspondent, he admitted that after his disqualification expired, he could become a coach.
In the fall of 2020, Slepov was suspected of having violated anti-doping rules due to missing tests. In October 2021, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) found the athlete not guilty, but changed their mind a week later. His suspension expires on September 29.
– I haven’t finished the sport yet. In professional sports, probably not, since all borders have closed on the Russian Federation and Belarus. But I haven’t finished my career. I don’t want to talk about it and I haven’t written it anywhere. While I’m still an athlete. Of course, I cooled off from sports. Ordinary domestic life.
Professional sports certainly aren’t, but amateur sports are easy. I will participate in veteran competitions and those tournaments that I participated in as a child. For example, cross-country cycling, triathlon or track and field races. Healthy lifestyle, but it’s an amateur level. To be professional, you have to train two or three times a day, go to training camps… This is no longer the case today.
Most likely, I will work as an ordinary civilian. As an instructor, I was just working on weekends for friends from Moscow. It is not forbidden. But in general, after the disqualification, I plan to maintain my physical activity in amateur competitions, maybe I will engage in training, prepare future champions who will adhere to the Olympic motto “Faster. Above. Stronger,” Slepov, 35, told .
Slepov is a three-time European champion, overall winner of the International Biathlon Union (IBU) Cup in the 2013/14 season, Russian champion.
