Kozhevnikov: IIHF has cornered itself after CAS ruling on admitting Russians
Two-time Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov told Gazeta.Ru that after the Court of Arbitration for Sport's ruling, the International Ice Hockey Federation has no grounds to again bar Russian hockey players from the World Championship. According to him, the national team will play, and Dominik Hasek, who was previously forced to accept CAS's arguments, only confirms the correctness of the course with his criticism.
