“None of the riders came to the start during the men’s 15 km classic.”
“the Estonian Raido Ränkel is distressed after suspicions against the lagkamraterna. “
” I was surprised when they would not start. I asked if they were sick, but I got no response. I focused only on my race and asked nothing more. But I heard that there is a situation, “he says and continues:”
“– My serviceman told me that they would not start, but he did not know anything. It is sad for the whole of the skiing. “
“Are you good friend with them? “
“– We train together and support each other so it is a shock for me also. “
“According to Ränkel he lives and the rest of the Estonian national team, live, however, not at the same hotel as Verpaluu and Tammjärv during the world CUP. “

” It sounds totally sick. I don’t know if you are going to talk about Poltoranin, but I thought it was a little strange. He has had Verpaluu as a coach who also gone there for doping. It’s a bit tricky. I would not have such a guy as a coach, then shows you what you have for view on doping, “he says and continues:”
“– It sounds very fishy everything. One must hope that those who prey on those who cheat. Hope they take all that dope. “
“there Have been rumors Poltoranin? “
“– It will be well, it is a very strange choice by the coach. Then you get such rumors about themselves, that goes without saying. “
