One Stupid Move Ruins Russian Figure Skater Andrei Lutai's Olympic Dreams

Andrei Lutai

I was so very sad to hear that Russian figure skater, Andrei Lutai, will not be competing in the Olympics. Just last week, after competing in Skate America, Lutai was arrested in Lake Placid, New York. He has been charged with drunk driving and auto theft. In response, the Russian Skating Federation has banned Lutai from competitive figure skating for one year. Lutai's Olympic dreams "went out the door" because of one stupid move.
