Putin on Reports of Poor Health: It Would Be Boring Without Rumors
Last week, Vladimir Putin`s lack of public appearances led to a flurry of theories in the media about his whereabouts, including rumors on his health.
President Vladimir Putin commented on reports on the state of his health as various media had speculated during more than a week on the reasons why the Russian leader "had disappeared."

“It’d be boring if there weren’t rumors,” Putin said.

Last week, Vladimir Putin`s lack of public appearances led to a flurry of theories in the media about his whereabouts, including rumors on his health.

Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev on Monday killed all rumors about the Russian president`s health, saying Putin’s not just on his feet, but also “hotrodding behind the wheel.”

“[Russian President] Vladimir Vladimirovich just drove me around the territory. That’s just so there’s no rumors,” Atambayev said during a meeting with Putin outside St. Petersburg.
The Kyrgyz president said rumors often spread about his own health, which he believes is unnecessary.

“But the president of Russia isn’t just walking, he’s hotrodding around, driving his guests around behind the wheel,” Atambayev said.
