“Reducing the length of military service for professional athletes? I don’t mind, but for this you need to turn to specialists who can competently advise you on this issue.
Today colleagues from CSKA were in our committee, we consulted them on certain issues. In fact, I don’t see anything difficult about serving in the armed forces. Especially since you only have to serve for one year. Athletes who are drafted into the army can serve in CSKA, SKA. Service in sports enterprises will allow you to serve in the army and not lose your sports skills. Today in committee we discussed a draft law regulating the possibility of athletes who serve in the SKA and CSKA to simultaneously serve in the army and at the same time be at the rate of the Ministry of Sports , so that they had the opportunity to receive a salary, and the state could spend money on them. But there is such a problem that if an athlete serves in the army, he cannot travel abroad for competitions. There have already been such incomprehensible situations, and now we just want to eliminate all these problems through legislation,” Championat.com quotes Svishchev as saying.
Recall that Ivan Fedotov was arrested on July 1 in St. Petersburg by members of the military enlistment office. Later, it was reported that the goalkeeper was sent to the North to do his military service. On May 6, he signed with the Philadelphia Flyers of the NHL.
Also, two more Russian hockey players are suspected of buying a military ticket – Kirill Kaprizov and Pavel Karnaukhov.
