The IIHF has dropped all doping charges against Valeri Nichushkin

The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) will not initiate a suspension of forward Valeri Nichushkin for an anti-doping rule violation. This became possible after the results of additional research conducted by the the Swiss Doping Laboratory. The IIHF notified Nichushkin that all charges against the player were dropped.

The Russian Ice Hockey Federation will be glad to see Valeri with the national team again when our country returns to the international scene!
