RL general manager Alexander Tarando on RL Webpages:
After the end of the successfull 2009 season several pro US and Euro players contacted our team about joining RL in 2010 season. Looked through all of this advices and taken into consideration real team needs RL have decided to give a chanse to our old teammate Konstantin Fedorov. This decision wasn’t easy. The club counsil has taken this decision by the majority of voices of players and coaches.
Giving Kostia the chance, we understand that he is our old team player and knows the inside rules of the team and specifics of training proces. If he could get into it again it will be positive for the team and himself too. That is why we would like to wish Kostia goodluck about getting into RL main squad again.

Under my opinion taken Kostia back in RL makes our 2010 roster even more stronger then it is right now. Also we make our roster safe about keey players be injured.
Plus I would like to admit that by this decision we are making our team more interesting for sponsors because chances of not good season are very small because of RL 2010 roster.
Interesting to see what US pro teams can do against Russian Legion. Fedorov takes 3 guns at field = 5on2 = Russians win has been confirmed. Plus word on the street has the Russians going back to a Russian-only roster.
Go Russians!
