I wouldn’t be surprised if we got some “help”……mafia is very good in helping people to commit suicide.

From someone close to the pro scene in Russia, the coach had a recent run of problems, including resuming drinking after battling alcohol, a difficult breakup, and obviously tremendous criticism after olympics. Sad.
