IIHF Ethics Council to review former president Rene Fasel and Russian Ice Hockey Federation
The International Ice Hockey Federation announced on Thursday that they've referred two cases to it's newly-formed Ethics Council for review.
The Russian Ice Hockey Federation reportedly sent instructions to its KHL clubs to support the war in Ukraine, the IIHF said.
"The IIHF Council has referred the Russian Ice Hockey Federation to the Ethics Board for review, due to reports that the RIHF allegedly sent instructions to Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) teams to take demonstrative actions in support of the Russia-Ukraine war. As such an action would constitute a violation of the IIHF Ethics Code, the Ethics Board will investigate further and determine whether this case will be referred to the IIHF Disciplinary Board."
As for former IIHF president Rene Fasel, who was recently named a consultant for the KHL and has had close ties to Vladimir Putin's regime, he will be under review for his involvement in Russia and the KHL including statements about the war in Ukraine.
"The IIHF has referred this matter to the independent Ethics Board in order to determine whether Fasel's actions have violated the IIHF Integrity Book. The IIHF Ethics Code, which is an integral part of the IIHF Integrity Book, requires «[a Life President to] conduct themselves in accordance with the principles of dignity, integrity, loyalty and responsibility in all relations of a competitive, economic, social (including social media) and moral nature.» The IIHF Integrity Book is applicable specifically when a Life President is acting within the scope of his duties for the IIHF or whenever his conduct reflects upon the IIHF or might otherwise undermine the objectives of the IIHF."
The IIHF Ethics Council will review both cases in the near future and if any violations are found, they will refer the cases to the IIHF Disciplinary Board.
During its last meeting the IIHF Council has decided to refer two cases to the independent IIHF Ethics Board. https://t.co/0UbTg3DXru— IIHF (@IIHFHockey) March 24, 2022
