The total amount requested is $400,000 and the news is correct. But here is the interesting response from our federation: They are debating whether to pay this fine and instead take the ban. They say they have better use for $400k and are debating not to pay and instead invest in youth development.... Some also say that Ivanov have to pay for it. Ivanov also btw is banned from coaching.
