Russian coach dismissed for dipsomania in Tsakhkadzor
Russian swimming team coach Andrey Vorontsov told «Sport den za dnyem» reporter he was shocked by his work in the team. «It's terrible when the sportsmen obey no rules of discipline. During the trainings in Tsakhkadzor, Armenia, we dismissed one of the youth team coaches for dipsomania, two others were precautioned for the same reason. I don’t know how to fight against smoking. While training the team in Great Britain, specialists could be dismissed for it. Whereas, we even don’t have a fine system for this, since the coaches’ salary is very low. Well, if you cannot give up smoking, at least don’t smoke in the presence of the sportsmen,» Vorontsov said.
