Prokhorov Trying to Stay Out of Olympic Controversy

Mikhail Prokhorov is in a delicate situation. He's been president of the Russian Biathlon Union for a year. But his precedecessor, Nikolai Tikhonov, is still vice president and hanging in Vancouver. Tikhonov has been convicted --then pardoned-- of murder conspiracy and tainted by a doping scandal. He's still around. Prokhorov is trying to stay out of it. "I don’t know the details. It was many, many years ago."

I must say – Brook is a STAR. Can’t wait ’till Proky comes along with money to surround BLo with some talent!
