& Egrave; Dmitry Malyshko was to set fire to the powder. Yesterday, at the end dell''inseguimento, said: "The 'whole season for me & egrave; been disastrous, are not at all happy. There' '& egrave; a race in which he excuses for my performance, so the problem & egrave; was the preparation.
I'm taking into account the 'hypothesis to train independently. I spoke with Anton Shipulin, who has gi & agrave; made this choice, but it will not go & ograve; in his work group. It would not be practical because & eacute; if you train for 10 or 15 people & egrave; clear that no one can expect results. "
These words were only the 'vanguard of the storm Since & eacute; after the mass start today and Timofey Lapshin Evgeny Garanichev attacked even more & ugrave; hard.
Garanichev: "I do not allener & ograve; pi & ugrave; with Kaspiarovich and cos & Igrave; will Malyshko and other athletes. His methods are not made for us. I do not know who will work & ograve ;, but c '' & egrave; time to decide. I tried to talk with Kaspiarovich, but he said he does not care and that I can choose my favorite technical ".
Lapshin: "Neither I allener & ograve; Kaspiarovich with, we have seen how things work in other countries: c '' & egrave; dialogue. Instead, we have a kind of dictatorship. The 'athlete must have confidence nell''allenatore and vice versa. I saw how they work in other countries, each athlete is working according to their needs, but we have a method that must be equal for all. "
According to Russian sources the biathletes at odds with Kaspiarovich would be five and between them there would also Alexey Slepov. The dissidents would write a letter to the Federal President Aleksander Kravtsov.
In the last minutes Alexander Tikhonov, head of the Russian teams of the World Cup, announced that it has met the dissidents and to have them expelled from the team by declaring: "The athletes are soldiers, & egrave; the state that finances them. What do you think they do? They think they are smart enough to work out by yourself? Well, then you pay on your own workouts as does M & auml; k & auml; r & auml; inen! "
In short, the international racing season & egrave; just ended, but the "fireworks' artifice" there will certainly also in the coming weeks Since & eacute; the story & egrave; far dall''essere finished.
