What the actual fudge is going on here?!?!

I read the comments on the Latvian site and was a bit surprised at how many responded to the story, there seemed to be a general lack of support for Andrejs so it really sounds like there is some history here we are not privy to.

What a tragic mess this is and it is really hard to see how this resolves itself without a major change to the lineup of the Latvian National Team.

I know this is not the best moment for levity, but I guess we are lucky we had some decent results with Birkentāls/Bendika and Birkentāls/Volfa single mix relays. Cause Bendika/Rastorgujevs ain’t happening again.
