The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) suspended Fedotov for 4 months for “illegal signing of a contract with CSKA”. However, the management of the military team plans to use the goalkeeper in KHL matches in September. IIHF President Luc Tardif has announced the possibility of opening a disciplinary case against CSKA if the club fails to comply with the directive.
“You ask what we based our decision on Fedotov on? Is it a serious question? What does it mean, what did we base it on? There is a settlement. You ask what I have to base myself?
Tardif says he can initiate disciplinary proceedings against CSKA if we violate disqualification decision? Who is he anyway? I do not know him. What is his role in all of this? We have a Russian hockey player who served in the army. He has a contract. He was signed, registered in the KHL and the FHR. From September, he will play. I don’t understand your questions. And Luc Tardif… I don’t even know who he is. What meaning does this have for me? Is he the head of the International Ice Hockey Federation? So maybe ask him some questions? Why do I need it? We have regulations,” Esmantovich said citing the “Championship”.
