FIBA announced its ruling regarding Ohayon last Friday (16 August):

The salient points are as follows:

1. FIBA has determined that the agreement between Yogev Ohayon and Lokomotiv Kuban is invalid.

2. FIBA has determined that Ohayon may continue to play for Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv this coming season because he is not obligated to Kuban.

Maccabi would like to thank attorneys Dr. Tal Hatman and Ze’evi Cohen for their excellent work in this matter.
