FIFA Disciplinary Committee has sanctioned the Russian players Ivan Knyazev, Daria Meshcheryakova and Vladimir Obukhov for breaches of FIFA Anti-Doping Regulations and FIFA Disciplinary Code
Mr Obukhov admitted the offence, fully collaborated by providing substantial assistance and entered into a cooperation agreement with FIFA.
In light of these circumstances, the Disciplinary Committee decided to reduce the period of ineligibility to six months. Consequently, the period of Mr Obukhov’s ineligibility, who had been provisionally suspended from 2 June 2021, ends on 2 December 2021.
SILA International Lawyers represented Vladimir Obukhov in the proceedings before FIFA.
