Canada rejects Soviet plea over diver Nemtsanov at Montreal Olympics
The Soviet Union threatened to withdraw from the final phase of the Montreal Games after Canada rejected a charge that diver Sergei Nemtsanov is a political kidnap victim. Ottawa said Nemtsanov left the Olympic Village and sought asylum, but Canada will allow him to speak with his coach with a Canadian witness and will help locate him. The dispute adds to tensions from cheating and defections affecting the Games and world ice hockey plans. Vitaly Smirnov vowed the Soviet Union would honor its pledges for the 1986 Summer Games.
