BALTIMORE (AP) — A figure skating coach who once competed at the Olympics for the onetime Soviet Union is denying sealed criminal charges filed in New York, his attorney said Thursday.

Genrich Sretenski was arrested Tuesday in Maryland as a fugitive on the charges. Authorities in New York have declined to make public the accusations against the 50-year-old coach except to say they involve an alleged incident last year in Lake Placid, a hub of figure skating training and competition.
