1/29/2025 – The FIDE Ethics and Disciplinary Commission Appeal Chamber has upheld and strengthened sanctions against IM Andrejs Strebkovs for severe misconduct, extending his ban to 12 years and revoking his International Master title. The ruling follows a thorough review of evidence, including police findings, confirming his involvement in sending offensive materials to female players, some of them minors. FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich affirmed the decision as a vital step in safeguarding the sport's integrity and its players' well-being.
