Latvian biathlon Andrejs Rastorgujevs36, has given a startling interview about the events of the Swiss World Championships ended last week.
The man said he had been in Lenzerheide in Latvian women’s national coach Ilars bricis assaulted.
Rastorgujevs said he had injured his fingers, his nose and his shoulder. There was a hospital trip ahead.
– After that, my chances of fighting for medals had practically gone. I didn’t expect the coach to react that way. What happens next? Does he take a gun and shoot me? Last year at Nove Mesto in a joint departure competition, an athlete who achieved silver was amazed at the Sportacentrs website that Dagbladet quote.
Rastorgujevs had marched to Bricis packages because he suspected this about the thread theft last season. He had been aware of the alleged Kiero’s trick from an eyewitness.
At Lenzerhe’s five departures, Latvian investments remained quite modest (33, 26, 16, 19, 20).
Presented the nose
Rastorgujevs introduced his fractured nose in an interview with Sporta Studija, his homeland and said he was in severe pain.
– If there is something serious on the shoulder, my season is probably over, he doubted.
Bricis has acknowledged clashes but denies having hit Rastorgujev.
Rastorgujevs says he is no longer going to join the national team if Bricis is allowed to continue there.
The Latvian Biathlon Association has launched a study on the incident, for which it has requested a statement from both sides.
