Bulgaria's World Skating Champ Staviiski Kills 1 in Drunk-Driving Crash
6 August 2007, Monday
Bulgaria's world ice skating champion Maxim Staviiski, who survived a car crash on Sunday night, has actually caused it by drunk driving.
This resulted in the death of one man Petar Petrov, 24. Another young woman, who was travelling in the same car as Petrov, is in coma. Two other people, who were involved in the chain crash, were seriously injured.
Maxim, part of the ice duo Denkova-Staviiski, who defended their world title in Tokyo in March, tested positive for alcohol with 1.1 permilles in his blood.
The legal driving limit in Bulgaria is 0.5.
The car accident occurred on the road connecting the Black Sea towns of Sozopol and Tsarevo. Staviiski for some reason veered into the opposite lane with his Hummer and apparently lost control over the vehicle. This resulted in a crash with a Honda Civic with four people on board. One of them died later in the local hospital, a girl is in coma and the other two of them were wounded. The situation was aggravated by a consequent crash of an Audi that bumped into the back of the Honda.
Staviiski was travelling alone, without his partner in life and on ice Albena Denkova.Staviiski was probably getting back from the sea villa of Albena's parents in Tsarevo, where the two were named honorary citizens of the town.
Ironically, Maxim, together with Albena, is one of the faces of the campaign "If you're drunk - get off the car, I want to get there alive". Earlier in the year the star couple was awarded the highest state order "Stara Planina". The champions recently participated in an initiative of the Interior Ministry for raising funds for the children of policemen, who were killed while on duty.
If found guilty, Maxim faces up to ten years behind bars.

Witness: Staviiski Very Disturbed, Not Visibly Drunk
6 August 2007, Monday
Bulgaria's world ice dancing champion Maxim Staviiski, who triggered a drunk-driving crash that killed one, was very disturbed and actively helped pull out the bodies of the passengers from the other cars, a witness said.
The crash, between Staviiski's Hummer sport utility vehicle and two cars, occurred late Sunday on a bridge near the Black Sea city of Burgas. Staviiski veered into the opposite lane and bumped headlong into a Honda Civic with four people riding in it. The driver of the Honda died in a hospital, while his passenger - a woman - was hospitalised in a coma.
According to witnesses the Russian-born Staviiski was not visibly drunk. A blood test, however, showed that Staviiski, who was not injured, was over the legal driving limit for alcohol.
The Interior Ministry declined to specify the level of alcohol in his blood, but reports say it was 1.2 permilles. The legal driving limit in Bulgaria is 0.5.

Bulgaria's World Skating Champ Still Not Arrested for Causing Deadly Crash
7 August 2007, Tuesday
Bulgaria's world ice dancing champion Maxim Staviiski is still not arrested after the Sunday deadly crash he caused while driving under the influence of alcohol.
One man was killed, a girl was taken to the hospital in a coma and two other youngsters were seriously injured in the accident.
Maxim Staviiski could not be reached for any comments on Monday because this was the advice of his lawyer.
A breath alcohol test minutes after the crash showed the world skating champion had 1.18 of blood alcohol, the blood test showed 1.10. The legal driving limit in Bulgaria is 0.50
Drivers in Bulgaria only face legal prosecution for drunk driving when the two alcohol tests showed more 1.20 permilles of blood alcohol or more. In this case Maxim is only likely to be banned from driving for a year and get a BGN 500 fine, as provided by the traffic law.
If Staviiski faces court, he might be easily acquitted as he has clean criminal past, did not run away from the accident and did not refuse to give blood samples for the alcohol test, lawyers commented on Tuesday for the Standart newspaper.

Bulgaria's World Champ Maxim Staviiski: My Life is Turned Upside Down Forever
7 August 2007, Tuesday
Bulgaria's world ice dancing champion Maxim Staviiski, who triggered on Sunday a drunk driving crash that killed one, said all he wanted was a fair trial.
"I am at a loss for words with which to express the way I feel. I am very distressed and shocked by what happened. I would like to express my deepest and most sincere sympathies with the families of the victims," Staviiski said in his first comment after the horrible accident.
"This is a huge tragedy, it is very personal and affects everyone close to me. I know that this will turn upside down my life and the life of Albena forever," reads the statement that the world ice dancing champion sent to the Bulgarian News Agency.
"The only thing that I can do and pray for now is help anyway I can to save the life of Manuela and see Valentin and Yoana recovered," he said, referring to the girl who was hospitalized in coma after the crash and other two casualties.
Staviiski concluded by saying he is not allowed to provide further details because of the ongoing investigation, but vowed to fully cooperate the prosecutors and the court.

WHO IS WHO: Albena Denkova and Maxim Staviiski
7 August 2007, Tuesday
Albena Denkova and Maxim Staviiski are Bulgaria's best dance couple who won their second world title at the figure ice-skating World Championship in Tokyo in March this year. When the two came back to Bulgaria, they were awarded by the President Georgi Parvanov the highest state order "Stara planina" - first degree.
In their ten-year joint career, Albena and Maxim have won two golden, three silver and two bronze medals at world and European championships, being the only couple that dared violate the hegemony of the great powers in this sport.
The first golden medal was won at the World Championship in Calgary last year, the silver - at the globe finals in Dortmund (2004) and the bronze one - in Washington in 2006.
"For me the second world title is much more valuable than the first one. The previous time when we reached the highest step of the winner's ladder, we did not fully realize what happened. A whole year after that we were thinking of what people expected of us at the next world championship. We worked very hard, led by the sincere wish to win the gold again," Albena confessed in an interview for Sofia News Agency a few months ago.
"I am more self-confident than Albena. I know we are the best! We have not even thought that it was possible to win the world title twice. We have always fought to take the lead at each and every stage of all competitions," Maxim commented back then.
The two coaches of the couple Natalia Linichuk and Gennadi Karponosov arrived to Bulgaria in April. Karponosov said Albena and Maxim should not give up before filling their medal collection with the Olympic gold.
Albena Denkova and Maxim Staviiski teamed up in 1996, when Albena's partner Hristo Nikolov retired. They are the first Bulgarian ice dancers to be placed in the top ten at Europeans.
Denkova was a gymnast before switching to skating. She has studied economics. Staviiski was born in Russia and has also skated in a Russian ice ballet. He was granted Bulgarian citizenship.
The duo presented at the end of April their biographical book "Love Is Alchemy of Success".
