Four-time Olympic champion in biathlon Alexander Tikhonov commented on another scandal with football player Artem Dzyuba, who, as a Lokomotiv player, sang a song in support of Zenit, for which he previously played.
“Do I have a feeling that Dzyuba specifically wants to get into something? Well, yes, there is a category of people that no one needs when they are forgotten. To be remembered about them, you need to arrange a scandal somewhere. Well, you idiot! I can’t say anything more. Do I think he would be a perfect fit in the porn industry? I fit in a long time ago, yes, yes. True, he tried to call me an old senile, but compared to him I am a doctor and a professor. It’s not Dzyuba’s fault for this, but our system, the RFU. There is no Russian football. I watch European football, Italian, French, German – and there is an avalanche from gate to gate, but all our players walk. Dzyuba is a donkey! What should we ask of him? His right hand is calloused, and he… [обсценная лексика — прим. ред.] Would I place Dzyuba’s advertisement on my website if I was offered $1 million? No, I don’t even want to talk about or remember such people. Why should I? Everything is fine in my life,” Tikhonov said in a conversation with a VseProSport correspondent.
