FILE - In this June 25, 2005, file photo, Russian President Vladimir Putin holds a diamond-encrusted 2005 Super Bowl ring belonging to New England Patriots NFL football team owner Robert Kraft during a meeting of American business executives at the 18th century Konstantin Palace outside St. Petersburg, Russia. When Putin arrived in London on Sunday, June 16, 2013, his spokesman was asked about a New York Post story quoting Kraft saying Putin pocketed his Super Bowl ring in 2005. Putin said he’s happy to buy New England Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft another ring, but it’s absurd to suggest he stole the Super Bowl one.,Image: 590089566, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: This content is intended for editorial use only.
