MOSCOW, March 25, Andrey Senchenko. The Russian Handball Federation (RHF) intends file an appeal against the decision of the court of the European Handball Federation (EHF), said lawyer Maksim Gulevich, a member of the FGR executive committee. I was surprised by the decision of the EHF court. We understand that this is a politically biased decision that has nothing to do with legal norms. The lawyers of the FGR have already begun preparing an appeal, we plan to officially send it in the coming days, «said Gulevich. The lawyer drew attention to the fact that all members of the internal commissions of the EHF are elected by the EHF congress and their election largely depends on the position of the federation leadership. «It can be assumed that the consideration of complaints by the FGR will be objective only in independent sports arbitration arbitrations. Considering the negative anti-Russian rhetoric that the Western media launched in Europe, one can hardly count on the justice of the ECA or CAS arbitrators,» the speaker added. Earlier, at an extraordinary meeting of the EHF executive committee, it was decided to remove Russian and Belarusian teams and clubs from participating in European tournaments for an indefinite period due to the situation in Ukraine.
