I don't know the details so don't want to edit one way or the other, but if they are known, they should be inserted into the text, not as "Edit". So I've commented it out; it's still visible in the source, though, for anyone to fix. — Bill 12:55, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The edit is still on the page itself too. The reason I think that it was added that way, is because fans keep taking things that are being said too much to heart when those same things change very quickly. There aren't many incontrovertible facts about this skater, so we have to go with what's either said by him in interviews and journals, or believe what is said in articles.

Coaching French Olympic hopeful Brian Joubert?

Edit: His hip problem was never the definite reason for quitting eligibility. He's also not coaching anyone. He's helping Tatiana Tarasova with Andrei Griazev, and advising and helping to choreograph Brian. Brian's coach was Laurent Depouilly, but the French Federation has dismissed him also. He's now back with his former coach, Véronique Guyon-Desgardins.

Yagudin is a "consultant" to Joubert, not a coach. True. The hip problem is a big reason, but not the only reason why he isn't skating competitively. --Pelladon 15:23, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The recurring edit about the hip and coaching

I'm sorry, I have a very persistent stalker who came here looking for something to criticize as soon as I wrote the first article. I don't even know how she found me here, but it's her IP and she admitted to doing it.
