Bulgarian workers are deceived abroad for various reasons. One reason was that Bulgarians are not sufficiently familiar with their labour rights, Gulub Donev, executive director of the General Labour Inspectorate Executive Agency, told private broadcaster bTV. His statement referred to a case in which 300 Bulgarians worked in the UK for two months without pay.
How is that possible that 300 workers can go abroad without being certain about working conditions, the nature of the work and payment, as well as health and social insurance? Donev asked.
I will first take a rest [] afterwards, and with a clear mind we will think about it and take a decision, Bulgarias only gold medallist at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Roumyana Neikova, told bTV when asked whether she will abandon her sports career.
I have the feeling that the whole country was crying with me because everyone who met we yesterday [when she returned from Beijing], told me thank you for making me cry and proud of being Bulgarian, Neikova said.
Life after sport continues with the children, Neikova said, explaining that her son would be in first grade this year and she should take care of him.
Kamen Plochev, head of the national commission for doping control, commented to bTV on speculation about doping concerning national volleyball captain Plamen Konstantinov.
A test was made of Plamen on July 21 [] the results were within the limits allowed, he said.
I dont know for what reasons one engineer and one chemist decided that there was a problem, he said, referring to previous revelations that a doctor named Karova, who studied the tests results, had called the head of the Bulgarian Volleyball Federation Dancho Lazarov, saying that Konstantinovs results were alarming.
It turned out that medical issues were being resolved by non-medical entities, Plochev said.
