Fedorov finds Moscow too expensive
MOSCOW: Anaheim Mighty Ducks centre Sergei Fedorov, on
vacation in his native Russia, has found Moscow too expensive
even for an NHL multi-millionaire.
The former Detroit Red Wings player, who signed a five-year,
US$40 million contract with Anaheim on Saturday, said Moscow had
surprised him with its heavy traffic, badly polluted air and
soaring prices.
"Four things surprised me the most: the huge number of very
expensive cars in the city, traffic practically gridlocked even
late at night, high prices and filthy air," the 33-year-old
Russian was quoted as saying by Sport-Express newspaper.

Ahn frustrated by transfer saga
TOKYO: South Korea's Ahn Jung-hwan, based in Japan but anxious
to return to Europe, says he is frustrated by not knowing where
he will play next season.
"There has been a lot of transfer talk recently but I am
trying to put it out of my mind and stay positive. I need a break
from it," the striker, who is being linked with Spanish first
division club Real Mallorca, told his official website.
Disagreements between representatives of Ahn in Japan and
South Korea, along with financial complications, have dragged out
talks with a handful of European clubs in recent months.
