DEAR ISU YOU DO NOT MESS WITH PLUSHENCHRIST THANK YOU THE END.

[warmuse]

I IMAGINE YOUR COMMENT BEING SAID BY STEPHANE AND I LOLED MUCH

[whitebamboo]

I get a sense that they want him to compete to sell tickets for them, but they also don't want him to compete because they want to push their own "favorites". (I could insert a million expletives here, but there's almost no point anymore by now.)

As for the Russian Fed...I honestly don't understand. Shouldn't Piseev be in jail already, or something?

[trifota]

+1 this comment.

and, I would very much like to know more about Piseev and imprisonment? (I fall out of the loop recently, the last thing I heard about him is he (or is it his wife?) is in control of the money of the fed?

[knigolubka]

He's in charge of the Federation's money as its director and his wife is in the ISU's central committee (if I remember the name of that organization correctly)...
BTW, the Procuracy of the Russian Federation recently launched an investigation on the spending of the budget money by sports federations before the Olys.

[trifota]

Oh, thank you very much. I'm only vaguely remember worried sick about how much power this couple have in their hands.

And about the money issue, I believe it's the result of Medvedev's statement after the Olympic (about how sport Federations are not to be credited for any achievement Russian team made during the Olys)+ Plushy complain? But I'd assume that they would investigate whoever was in charge of the budget handling before Piseev for this one. Hmm (Not that he isn't deserved to be questioned, as the ex-Head and all. Ugh, too much politic.

Sitting in a corner and hoping for the best.

Dear ISU
Sit down,shut the fuck up and respect the athletes.

My guess is that this will drag till next season. I'm not Russian but I know here an investigation like takes a LONG time. lots of missing money = lots of hiding = long instigation.

I don't think he can compete this season anyway. Doesn't he have a lot of shows planned? I don't know how that would look...getting reinstated then doing shows. But I know he would never let his fans (or Johnny) down and not do the shows.

But damn if he did he would wipe the ice with any one in his path

[warmuse]

He said he's not going to compete regardless of the fed's decision. I don't think he will change it. Besides, if team Russia doesn't do well this season (although I love Borodulin and Gachinski)...well it's not Plushy's faulth, whatever Fed might say LOL

[tamaryokucha]

Somehow, I think the fed will find a way to blame it on Plushy anyway. As in, 'well he didn't skate this season.' Uh yeah, BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T PROTECT HIS STATUS FROM THE ISU. >_>; Oh Russian fed, if they don't do well this season, it's all their fault.

TYFYT

[warmuse]

BECAUSE HE IS PLATINUM, OBVIOUSLY
