They do anyway, for whatever reasons: Sheva, Serhiy Bubka and that big-shouldered swimmer girl from Kharkiv declared their support for Yanukovych last year; the Klichko brothers were for Yushchenko, and one of them is now rumored to be considering running for Kyiv's mayor; Oleh Blokhin turned into a Communist parliamentarian before re-starting his career as a football coach; et cetera. But it's still the way these people kick ass in sports, not their political preferences, that they are recognized and admired for.
