The head of the Russian Cross-Country Skiing Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe on Match TV revealed the details of Alexander Bolshunov's punishment for a skirmish with Finn Yoni Mäki at the World Cup in Lahti.

“The decision is this: he has a probationary period for the next five starts – for the entire world championship,” – said Vyalbe. She added that the Russian will also have to pay 2,000 francs (about 160 thousand rubles). “This is not really a fine, this is for the work of the commissioner who made this paper,” she explained.
