Anthony Ivanov has completely changed his attitude towards the swimming federation and its president, Georgi Avramchev. This is clear from his post on Facebook.
After his punishment for 3 cases in which he was not detected for a doping test, the swimmer who participated in 7 finals of major championships entered into a sharp conflict with the management of the plant.
For tarnishing her reputation through media attacks last September, Anthony’s racing rights were suspended for 3 years.
“Friends,
The time has come to close one page of my life and open another.
The last 3 years have been turbulent for me personally and professionally, full of unnecessary conflicts and a lot of injustice. No one won from this, we all lost!
Therefore, now I want to close this page of my life by apologizing to all the people who have suffered in some way because of what is happening to me, especially my family. I think I am mature enough to say “sorry” to Georgi Avramchev and the BFPS. I hope that with them we will already build bridges and bring medals for Bulgaria.
At the same time, I am opening a new page for myself! Today I am flying to the US to finish my education (which has always been my top priority) and start preparing for my return to racing.
As you all know, my punishment expires on 9/26/2024 (only the Anti-Doping Center pretends not to know, but I forgive them too).
Expect a new, better and stronger Anthony Ivanov this fall.
Sincerely, AI,” 25-year-old Anthony wrote on Facebook.
