Athletistic/Hockey. Journalist Igor Rabiner reported that hockey player Ivan Fedotov was arrested on suspicion of escaping military service.

“If Ivan Fedotov (just in case, the main goalkeeper of the Russian silver team at the Beijing Olympics and winner of the last Gagarin Cup with CSKA) has real problems leaving for the NHL, let alone to be drafted into the army, then it will become a trigger for the uncontrolled departure of dozens of hockey players from Russia across the ocean.

Unless everyone is locked down at the same time, of course. That is, the hockey situation will return either to the beginning of the 90s, when everyone left, or even to the 80s, in the USSR, when no one could leave. I repeat: either they will rush with the whole crowd, or pure return to the USSR,” Rabiner wrote in Telegram.

Last season, Fedotov was recognized as the best goaltender in the KHL.
