St. Petersburg, July 12, Taras Barabash. President of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Luc Tardif said that not only hockey player Ivan Fedotov has problems with the army in Russia. Lawyer Alexei Ponomarev, representing the interests of the athlete, told the agency on Monday that Fedotov is still on the territory of a military unit and leaves no hope of serving the country with the help of hockey. «Not only Ivan Fedotov is now in Russia in such a situation, as far as I understand. Our principle is that the IIHF will never cancel the laws and decisions of the authorities of any country, although it is sad,» said Tardif.
