Rotenberg complains again, SKA suffers third defeat in a row
It was a pretty busy day in the KHL. SKA and Avangard met in St. Petersburg. The crisis SKA (with which the team coach Roman Rotenberg strongly disagrees) suffered a third defeat in a row, losing with a score of 3:5.

However, everyone has already gotten used to Rotenberg’s loud words. But they don’t highlight the team’s problems. SKA is outside the playoff zone, which is already causing a stir.
In another important match of the day, CSKA taught Spartak a lesson. The Army team won the capital derby with a score of 3:0. So far, Spartak is higher, but such a victory will clearly give CSKA confidence.

However, the IOC believes that there is no contradiction here. The organization explained why a different approach is used towards athletes from Russia and Israel. Seriously?
