FHR filed an appeal to CAS against the IIHF decision in the case of goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov
The Russian Hockey Federation (RHF) filed an appeal against the decision of the International Hockey Federation (IIHF) in the case of goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov. RIA Novosti reports this.
The hockey player’s case will be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The timing of the review has not been specified.
On May 8, the IIHF disciplinary committee fined the FHR one million Swiss francs. Fedotov’s performance for CSKA was considered a violation of the rules of international transfers.
On March 29, Fedotov moved to the National Hockey League (NHL) Philadelphia Flyers. Previously, he terminated his contract with CSKA Moscow by mutual consent.
In the summer of 2022, Fedotov’s attempt to move to Philadelphia failed. The Russian was supposed to go to the United States, but he was detained on suspicion of evading military service. After this, the athlete served a year in the Navy and resumed his career at CSKA.
