Olympic champion Vasiliev told how he was offered to become a killer.
Dmitry Vasiliev is a two-time winner of the Olympic Games in biathlon (1984, 1988). He retired from acting in 1989. He was also a member of the board of the Russian Biathlon Union. He is also a well-known figure in the biathlon media space in Russia.
«When I retired, money was tight. Since I was a good shot, one acquaintance offered me to take a shot and get ten thousand dollars.
I was lucky with my teachers, so I understood that I would fire one shot, and the second would be at me. I immediately refused and stopped communicating with him. If I had not refused, I would not be here now.
I won't mention his name, but he was a former athlete who is no longer alive,» Vasiliev said.
Some commentators on the website took this situation with humor:
«If this had been offered to Eduard Latypov, they would have added three extra rounds, just in case.»
And someone took it more seriously:
«Formally, Vasiliev confessed to a crime. Failure to report an impending murder is a Criminal Code.»
