I actually don't think Arshavin has lost his TS, he was always being overrated on it. His combination of AGI and ACC was making him appear to be faster than he really was. The video of his supposed incredible TS while running in open space that was posted awhile back turns out to not be that fast after all, despite what it looks like to the naked eye.
http://www.ask4sports.com/2011/02/andre ... atics.htmlWhen compared to the other speed tests done on that site, Arshavin's top speed over distance is still good but nowhere near the players this site considers truly fast over distance like his 88TS would suggest. He has probably always been deserving of around an 85TS along with his incredible ACC and AGI.

I'm not saying that we should be using that site as the final word but it is certainly nice to see that people's opinions are actually backed up by some measurable data.
All testing done on PES13 on PS3.
