MOSCOW (AP) — The president of the KHL, the world’s second-best hockey league after the NHL, said Wednesday he is waiting to find out how many Russians will be banned from the Pyeongchang Olympics before deciding if he will allow his players to compete in South Korea.
Dmitry Chernyshenko, the head of the Sochi Olympic organizing committee and now president of the KHL, said “we’ll understand who’s going and who’s not going and then the league will respond accordingly.”
The Moscow-based KHL previously expressed outrage at bans for Russian athletes in other sports tainted by doping at the Sochi Olympics.
