Not really. Russia requested that they speak to him as someone suspected in "subversive activities". I get the idea that Putin's definition of subversive is anyone who opposes him. There was nothing in his background at that time, other than the fact that he was an ethnic Chechen, to warrant anything beyond a friendly chat and then telling Russia that he checked out. He apparently was a rising star in the boxing world.
However, I have to believe that the FBI knew it was him in those pictures a day or two before they released them. The probably knew who he was, but not where he was, and released the pictures to flush him.
