Criminal allegations and death
In January 2012, the coach and owner of the team, Ivan Pravilov was accused of fondling two 14-year-old Ukrainian players who he had invited to his home in Philadelphia. He was placed in a Federal Detention Center but was found to be unresponsive at around 3:00 am; by 3:45, he was pronounced dead at the hospital. Evidence suggested that he had committed suicide.[1] This was confirmed by the city medical examiner's office on 23 February 2012.[2]
A former student of Druzhba-78 had claimed in January 2012 that Pravilov had physically abused members of Druzhba-78.[3]
