Athletistic / Hockey. President of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Luc Tardif said that the situation regarding the performance of goalie Ivan Fedotov in the KHL within CSKA will not be discussed at the organization’s next congress.
“There will be no discussion of the Fedotov case at the IIHF Congress. However, the delegates were informed about the disciplinary case. The IIHF will not announce a decision regarding further sanctions, this will be done by the IIHF Disciplinary Council.
We are in no hurry and our position has not changed, we will certainly defend it. The Russian Hockey Federation, the Kontinental Hockey League and Fedotov himself violated IIHF rules regarding compliance with a hockey player’s existing contract, as well as international transfer standards, by allowing the player to play at the time of his disqualification. », Quotes RIA Novosti Sport Tardif.
