withdrawal of candidacy Drachev became known after the site of the RBU issued a statement four-time world champion, who is also the Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

He noted that the additional load in the state Duma will not allow him to focus on the job at SBR. And given that biathlon team starts training for the Olympics in 2022, Drachev finds it impossible to devote himself entirely to this work.

So on a selective conference of the RBU, which will be held July 11, in Khimki, the only candidate for the post of head of the organization there are three-time world champion Viktor Maigurov.
