The International Skating Union (ISU) has not yet issued Alexander Plushchenko the required Clearance ISU certificate to compete for the Azerbaijani national team in international competitions.
According to Idman.Biz, citing Odds.ru, all documents should be ready as early as next week.
According to the source, no problems are expected with obtaining the permit, as the 13-year-old figure skater has not previously performed at official international competitions for the Russian national team.
Earlier, it was reported that the son of two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko had changed his sports citizenship and would represent Azerbaijan for the next five years.
Alexander Plushenko's move to the Azerbaijani national team has caused a serious stir in the figure skating world and is actively discussed in the Russian media.
