Russian athlete Anastasia Kolchina accused coach Viktor Chegin of making threats

Russian track and field athlete Anastasia Kolchina spoke about coach Viktor Chegin, who promised to “make a whore out of her.” Her words are quoted by Sports.ru.

“When I was 14, a very unpleasant episode happened. I told Olga Kaniskina (another Chegin student, Olympic champion in 20-kilometer race walking - Lenta.ru) about this. And she - to Viktor Mikhailovich. So he called me and said: “Listen, no one will believe you. I’ll make a fool out of you, a whore, and you’ll remain just a little ##### (liar),” Kolchina said.

The athlete also spoke about Chegin’s behavior at work. “The disqualified person walked around the arena or in a towel to the bathhouse in the Center and said: “Nothing will happen to me.” This is recklessness. He already has a pathology, but I turned towards courage, truth and freedom,” Kolchina said.
