Petter Northug, the Imaginary Invalid

Back at home a week earlier by the Norwegian rally in Val Senales, but apparently the real reason for the return home would be the expiration on the contract to be signed with the Federation.

Illness also contradicted by Stig Rune Kveen, coach of Northug, who said: & ldquo; Petter & egrave; healthy and yesterday & egrave; trained before returning home. He had the chance & agrave; to return when he wanted and he chose yesterday. He made almost three weeks of training in Val Senales and & egrave; very happy. He only had a p & ograve; sore throat for two or three days in the first week of training, but otherwise I would say that & egrave; Everything went smooth and now we will do a few days of rest before resuming training & rdquo ;. Actually & agrave; the real reason for the return Northug of Norway would be a & rsquo; another, the signing of the & rsquo; s agreement with the Norwegian Federation for 6 months, or for the entire 2014-2015 season, until April of & rsquo; s next year. Northug fact & egrave; aware of this deadline by more than six months since, despite being given a lot of freedom & agrave; and independence (see the private team), certain conditions must be fixed with the Federation to participate in the World Cup and World Championships. The head coach Vidar & L Ã¸ fshus makes it clear polemical situation: & ldquo; When Petter decided to quit the national team, said they needed his motives. But now what are we discussing? Only money. Petter I hope there is the World Cup, but at the moment I'm doing the math without him & rdquo ;. The point is precisely the money arising from the sponsor of Northug, Norway Coop, of competitors & rsquo; another retail giant and main sponsor of the Norwegian team, Spar. L & rsquo; s agreement proposed by the Federation & egrave; the following: Northug potr & agrave; promote Coop to the races early in the season to the end of November Beitostolen, but then they will have to & agrave; go with the & rsquo; s official clothing of the national team until 1 & deg; In May 2015. The deadline & egrave; to midnight today, Petter Northug rinuncer & agrave; at the World Cup and World Championships for just a p & ograve; money into more & ugrave ;?
