Doctors are fighting for the life of the famous Soviet ice hockey player Vladimir Krutov, who was hospitalized yesterday with gastrorrhagia. The hockey star is now in drug-induced coma.

Dmitry Shaposhnikov, CEO of the “Hockey Legends” team told R-Sport that Krutov was in intensive care at a Moscow hospital and that his condition was poor.

Vladimir Krutov is a double Olympic Champion. Together with Igor Larionov, Sergei Makarov, Vyacheslav Fetisov and Alexei Kasatonov, he comprised the so-called Russian Five, also known as Larionov’s Five.

The Russian Five is considered to be one of the best hockey units in the history of ice hockey.

Krutov worked as CSKA Moscow assistant coach from 1995 to 2000 and head coach in 2000-2001 season. In recent years, Krutov played in veterans' team, “Hockey Legends.”

England Debates Same-Sex Marriage Bill

David Cameron's woes are continuing this week with plans to legalize same-sex marriage to be debated in Parliament today and tomorrow. The issue is hugely divisive, not least within the Tory Party which seems to have been in open rebellion in the last couple of weeks over everything from the E.U. to the next election. And on Sunday 34 current and former local party chairmen delivered a letter to Downing Street opposing the policy as "flawed, un-Conservative and costing us dearly in votes and membership". Gay marriage is causing a heated row across the political and public spheres.
