ORLANDO, Fla. – Testimony from a detective and an agent with U.S. Border Patrol helped convince an Orange County judge to keep a former figure skating coach behind bars while he awaits trial. The former figure skating coach remained overseas for nearly three years before being extradited back to the U.S., according to U.S. Border Patrol Agent Michael Cluck. Berekhovski’s defense attorney argued the former figure skating coach did nothing wrong when he left for Russia since he was not under arrest at the time of his departure. He was deemed “ineligible” to coach or participate in figure skating until further notice. Figure Skating upheld the grievance and posted the disciplinary action on the organization’s website.
