Olympic champion and world record holder in weightlifting Carlos Nassar announced that there is no way to warm up relations with the barbell federation and return to train with the national team.
“There is no way to clean up these relationships, I am a person who once loses trust in someone, it is very difficult to get it back. Unfortunately, I am not ready to make any compromise. I want to cook on my own, as I feel there are detractors around me. I think my results won’t be that good.
The best option is to cook alone. Whatever reconciliation steps there were on the other side, my initial actions were clear. A lot has happened and it’s just hard for me to move on.
I would even say that it is impossible for me to be part of this team again. We have always been a team with the rest of the competitors, we have a good relationship,” said Carlos.
Our Olympic medalists Nassar and Bozhidar Andreev have not received salaries from the federation since December 2023.
“The problem with the pay will not be fixed, there will probably be problems in the future. The management just needs to be changed. We are probably the most problematic federation. If you look closely, over the years the presidents of the federations change, but in the conflict there remains one who does not budge. This is Ivan Ivanov,” said Nassar.
