Fedotov and CSKA violate sanctions

Fedotov and CSKA violate sanctions

On August 14, the International Ice Hockey Federation announced sanctions on Ivan Fedotov and CSKA Hockey Club for breach of the IIHF International Transfer Regulations (cf. IIHF - IIHF sanctions Ivan Fedotov and CSKA Hockey Club).
 
The IIHF imposed the following sporting sanctions on Ivan Fedotov: A four (4) month suspension on playing in official national and international games during playing periods. The suspension shall take effect on 1 September 2023 (first CSKA regular season game) and conclude on 31 December 2023.
 
Respectively, the IIHF has imposed the following sporting sanctions on CSKA Hockey Club: A one (1) season ban on International Transfers taking effect on 11 August 2023 and concluding on 10 August 2024.
 
On 1 September 2023, Ivan Fedotov played in the first CSKA regular season game against Ak Bars, despite the sporting sanctions the IIHF imposed on both Ivan Fedotov, and CSKA Hockey Club.
 
As Ivan Fedotov participation on 1 September for CSKA results in a violation of the IIHF Decision issued against Fedotov, the IIHF will refer Ivan Fedotov to the IIHF Disciplinary Board in accordance with Art. 12.1.1.iv of the IIHF Disciplinary Code.
 

Further, as CSKA and the Russian Ice Hockey Federation allowed Ivan Fedotov to participate without a valid transfer as required in Section II Art. 3.5 of the International Transfer Regulations, the IIHF will implement a 5,000 CHF fine on the Russian Ice Hockey Federation for allowing a player to play without a transfer. If Fedotov continues to play without a valid transfer, the IIHF will submit the case to the IIHF Disciplinary Board who shall have the power to implement additional sanctions to the respective parties involved including Ivan Fedotov, CSKA and the Russian Ice Hockey Federation.
