IIHF appeals CAS ruling on Russian hockey teams' reinstatement

news.mail.ru (Russian) —

The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding the decision to reinstate Russian national hockey teams in international competitions. The appeal is based on allegations that two of the three CAS panel members who ruled in Russia's favor concealed their business ties with Russia. This follows the October 30 CAS ruling that obligated the IIHF to allow Russian teams to compete. Several countries, including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Latvia, Austria, and the Czech Republic, have already stated they will refuse to play against Russians at the 2027 World Championship.
