MOSCOW, Apr 17. Finnish doctors who refused to operate a Russian hockey player are perjurers, said sports commentator Dmitry Guberniev. The general director of the Ufa Salavat Yulaev, Rinat Bashirov, said that one of the players in the youth team of the Tolpar club system was denied an operation by the doctors of the Finnish clinic.
"Everything that is happening is monstrous. Hysteria is growing in Finland, they are going to join NATO. At the same time, their athletes earned big money in Russia, there was always a decent trade turnover between countries. But the act of Finnish doctors has nothing to do with either sports ethics or the Hippocratic Oath. When people refuse to have an operation just because the patient is Russian… It's worse than a crime. Finnish doctors in this situation are perjurers", Guberniev said.
