MOSCOW: A Russian state contract between banned race walking coach Viktor Chegin and the athletics facility where he was formerly head coach has been cancelled after Reuters reported his firm provided security there, the facility said.
Russian authorities later said they would cancel the contract because Chegin's access to the facility and the athletes training there was problematic for anti-doping authorities. Chegin could not be reached for comment. He has not made any public comment since the Reuters story in June.Nacharkina had said in June it was possible that Chegin visited the facility to oversee his firm's activities and that she was not aware of him associating with athletes there.
Company records show that Chegin's firm, called Chest-S, changed owner in July and changed its name earlier this month.
