Two-time Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov advised Fedotov and CSKA to choose whether the hockey player would continue to play for the Red-Blues or leave everything as it is.
“I don’t know if he will keep talking, the lawyers should figure it out. Either you have to leave or send a leadership with his position, that is, the French. Or stay and make some decisions and conclusions. And we have to decide quickly.
We do not need now the enmity of the KHL and the International Federation. He is a good goalkeeper, he missed a year, but today he played very well, ”Kozhevnikov said in an interview with a Soviet sports correspondent.
On August 27, it became known that the Russian Hockey Federation had banned Fedotov from playing in the army until January 1, 2024. By decision of the FHR, the player will not be able to help his team at the start of the season. However, the disqualification previously imposed by the IIHF remains in effect.
