“We anticipated the course of events in advance and understood what decision the IIHF would make in this time of political instability. Personally, this does not surprise me, because I have already expressed the opinion that Luc Tardif is a donkey from the Pyrenees. Now you should turn to experienced lawyers for help, strive to challenge the verdict of the International Ice Hockey Federation and fight for the interests of Russia,” Nazarov said in an interview with the championship correspondent.
Recall that earlier the International Ice Hockey Federation took action against Fedotov and CSKA. The Russian goalkeeper received a four-month suspension – from September 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The start date of the suspension coincides with CSKA’s first match of the 2023/2024 season. The army club has also been banned from international transfers for a period of one year.
