So is he taking a leave of absence because he's afraid for his safety or because he's guilty?
The issue is, even if it isn’t true, it is at best now a he said - she said situation. At worst it is a situation where the force of the Russian state will come to bear on Panarin via police, media, etc.
NYR doing extreme damage control after having a bad incident earlier in the year.
Adds up to, he could actually be gone. The hell people.
I think nevesis hit it right on te head... metoo. that’s all.Don’t think any of us has enough information to answer the “Why...” question right now.
Zero difference between allegedly assaulting a woman at 18 or 28. You can't really be this obtuse? I mean...
Great to see another poster jump to conclusions.If true, he can f*** off to wherever Slava Voynov f***ed off to.
If not true, he should probably avoid tea, windows, and pianos for a while.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if that girl somehow mysteriously turned out tomorrow at some Moscow police station to tell this story.So, the allegation is pure hearsay from this rando Putin flack, and not an accusation from the woman herself?
I don’t believe they’re doing the wrong thing. They probably used brooks to get ahead of the story by making sure us media called it false immediately.if this LOA is being set up by the team, it’s a massively huge misstep. this shouldn’t be given the light of day.
zero difference between if he did it yesterday or if he did it 10+ years ago with zero incidents since?Zero difference between allegedly assaulting a woman at 18 or 28. You can't really be this obtuse? I mean...

if that’s the case, that the team is doing this to research into the problem, they’re even dumber than I thought. all they’re doing is feeding into it.
I’m extremely worried that this will mess with him mentally. not to mention how rusty he’ll be if he’s gone for more than a week or two.
what a f***ing mess.
correct. this all just stinks.Him taking a leave of absence just makes me think the allegations are true. If he had said nothing, I probably never would have even heard about this, very strange move by him to add legitimacy to the claims.

seems to be that way lets hope its true, but either he and therefore the Rangers are totally f***edIt’s not a he said/she said. It’s literally the Russian state saying “he’s a criminal which is why he supports another criminal Navalny”
You literally cannot speak in support of Navalny. Especially now. This is obviously cooked up

no statute of limitations but it would be much worse if its something he did recently dont you think?Since when is there a statute of limitations on assaulting a woman, let alone anyone?
Let's take this with a grain of salt right now given the circumstances with Putin and the whole Navalney support
