This is getting nasty. It is unbecoming of Russia’s Sport Federation. I do not think this is about McDonald’s food! It all about who will win the Men’s Hockey. I cannot imagine that Russian Hockey players, some of who are millionaires from NHL teams could be forced to eat at McDonalds or McDonald’s food! Yester RT reported that some no nobody Russian mechanic over 150B dollars for a short time. Perhaps Russia needs to use some of that money to feed its athletics. BC is a healthy obsessed province and it is more likely that the Russian Athletics are eating prime beef and fresh BC Pacific fish, fresh fruits than McDonald’s food. I feel that Canada is in the receiving end of Russia’s frustration to make an impression on these games?

Seems to me that the Russian hockey team is already making excuses just incase the lose to Latvia. My predict that the team which shows up more sober will win the game.

Ha! The plot thickens. No wonder the Russians didn't do as well this year. The Canadians made them eat crap food. Oh well, the Sochi Games are coming up. I recommend twinkies, microwave pizza, diet coke, and slabs of bacon. Oh, and cheesecake.
