"We found a way to be a team," Bulgarian national volleyball team captain Plamen Konstantinov, the centre of a row caused by high testosterone levels in his blood, which forced him to miss four matches during the Beijing Olympics, told private broadcaster bTV. "This is the most united team we have ever had and that is the most important."

Asked whether he would run for chairperson of Bulgaria's volleyball federation, Konstantinov said that it was impossible at the moment. "These are my plans in near future, but that doesn't mean that I cannot turn to some other activity different from what I do now. In any case, I hope and I want to continue dealing with sport," he said.

In such a situation, everyone is disappointed with someone, Konstantinov commented on the controversy on his participation in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. "People's support during these 15-20 days was the most pleasant feeling, at least for me," he said.

"There are doubts about the entity of Dubai Investment. The Financial Supervision Commission is carrying out a check and will come up with a stand [on the case]," commission member Milcho Stoimenov told Bulgarian National Television. "There should be an intervention by the state and there will be one," he said.

"Everything in that organisation is being arranged from a distance and that is alarming. People should be especially careful when they make their choice."
