It’s a history worthy of the movie, happening on both sides of the ocean. The mystery that hides a winner of twelve international armwrestling tournaments, living in the United States and Russia. For 20 years, he has lived a double life - hiding under a false name, changed his appearance, is suspected of the murder. Intelligence agencies of many countries are seeking to understand who this man really is.

Today at the international airport "Sheremetyevo" landed a plane from the United States, in which flew the famous athlete, twelve times armwrestling world champion Roman Tsindeliani. A few minutes later in the same place Jambul Vibliani , who has been wanted on international warrant for murder for two decades was arrested.


Neither the first nor the second case would surprising if it was not that the same person in both cases. The one, who for 20 years is wanted throughout the world, seems to be genuinely surprised. He says his name is enough to enter in any search engine.

"Absolutely there is no problem, to find me. I’ve been a world champion twelve times, I’m a representative of Russia," - said Roman Tsindeliani (Jambul Vibliani).

Really huge quantity of sport events material is placed on the Internet. Roman Tsindeliani wins victory after victory. He is titled, lives in America, travels all over the world. That was until April this year, when the champion was detained by U.S.A immigration services.  Famous armwrestler’s documents aroused suspicions of the authorities. After an expertise they turned to be false. A decision to deport the master to Russia has been taken.

The player flew out from America under the name Tsindeliani, and after a few hours at the airport police greeted him under the name Vibliani. Now the suspect is in custody, was charged with murder committed in 1990 in Georgia.

"Then, during a quarrel the suspect stroke a deadly blow with a knife. In addition, available data indicate that the accused may be involved in the murder and robbery, committed in April 1999." - Said the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Valery Gribakin.

One version of the investigation says, that after the murderer Vibliani escaped and moved to Perm, where he changed his outward appearance and identity. In a new place he began achieving sports success. Tsindeliani’s career developed rapidly. For his coaches, wards, and even family, what has happened is a total surprise.

"I learned about these horrible accusations that have been submitted to him. We have almost dispatched a lawyer for him. No matter what he did, he is a member of the national team, and only the court may decide - whether he is guilty or not" - said Alexander Filimonov, meritorious coach of the Russian Federation, President of the Russian Armsport Federation.

The family and friends of the master maintains that it is probably a mistake in the investigation and that in time all will be revealed. The athlete himself categorically denies a criminal past.
