Lavinia were trapped in a sordid scheme. They were not supposed to be naked in the videos when they signed the contract and when they arrived in Japan, they were left in the middle of nowhere with no translator and were talked into doing the videos with their breasts exposed. The crew threatened them to leave them with no support and made them believe it would be a very limited release.
@msms68 The book is called 'Alexandra's secrets' but the English version is called 'The secrets of a gymnast' and Lavinia Miloşovici, Corina Ungureanu and Claudia Presecan did appear nude in the video.
As it was..Lavinia really needed the money. She had hit hard times...and had had a son who has special needs & medical health problems..This is expensive...and so to help her child...which any mother would do....she agreed to do the video to use the money to aid in her sons health.
You didn't have to be so rude in your response, I simply did not know that the small clip I had seen was not the complete video. And nowhere in my previous comment did I judge any of the women for their participation in the videos. I understand that they needed the money and had no other means of getting that money.
Yes they DID appear naked in the video...I have it.....Most people have only seen the clips of them doing the parallel bar and the horse..and a little floor. BUT.. they also did do a fantasy dance routine..and a session when they were bathing..and in those they WERE naked. So don't guess...know what your talking about before spouting it.
duh! because lavinia apeared with the uniform of the romanian gymanstics federation, or whatever their name is, the point is she appeared with the uniform of some big shot institution
@tmwalkerm ignorance is in your part,that substance was not forbiden by fig because it really doesnt help,it was forbiden for the atlhetes in other sport but olimpic commity does not like it when the top 3 podium was taken by one single nation and tested andreea twice in order to get sometingh increminator,and after 2 years they take the substance off the banned list very quietly.if thats right to you then you not understand realy nothing at all of what is going on the olympics.
...and they did return joy to the romanian gymnastics! love you girls!!
That Romanian SWEEP was the biggest night in history. They need to allow 3 gymansts per country to compete in the alround again.
romania is the best forever!
since 1976 till now romania had the best team . it was a team like a family .

It is there a second part?
well...u r wright....but i think my story is true too
Why did they create the 2 per country rule?
Does anyone know if that book they talk about in this piece is available anywhere? I wonder what it was about and if its even translated into English.
They actually did do the video, I found a small clip of that video but they were not naked.
