Athletistic/Hockey. Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Sultan Khamzaev commented on the incident between him and sports commentator Dmitry Guberniev live on the program “There is a theme!” on the television channel “Match TV”.

On July 4 on the air of the program “There is a theme!” Dmitry Guberniev tuned into the live broadcast, devoted to the story of the detention of Russian hockey goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov. After a verbal skirmish between the presenter and the deputy, Guberniev disconnected from the live broadcast with the phrase: “I’m not going to live with idiots.”

“Guberniev raised the situation with the goalkeeper of the Russian national hockey team from a political point of view and asked why Ovechkin, or someone else, did not speak out. He comments on the biathlon – let him comment there. My position was that he should focus on his job and not mislead people,” Khamzaev said.

According to the latest information, hockey player Ivan Fedotov, arrested on July 1 in St. Petersburg on suspicion of having escaped military service, has been assigned to the Northern Fleet sports society. According to preliminary data, Fedotov will play hockey for the Avangard team at the White Sea naval base.
