MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Anaheim Mighty Ducks center Sergei Fedorov, on vacation in his native Russia, has found Moscow too expensive even for an NHL multimillionaire.
The former Detroit Red Wings player, who signed a five-year, $40 million contract with Anaheim on Saturday, said Moscow had surprised him with its heavy traffic, badly polluted air and soaring prices.
"Four things surprised me the most: the huge number of very expensive cars in the city, traffic practically gridlocked even late at night, high prices and filthy air," the 33-year-old Russian was quoted as saying by Sport-Express newspaper.
"Detroit has a reputation as being one of the most polluted cities in North America but, believe me, even there you can breathe much easier than here."
