Regrettably, the lack of medical personnel at the scene appears to have played a role in the unfortunate outcome. Stolyarov revealed that the decision to forego having medical staff at the games was made by the players themselves due to concerns about increased league expenses:
"We talked with the teams before the season. They refused to take ambulances because it would make the championship more expensive. We will gather the division council. We are definitely in favor of ambulances being present at matches."
