Artemi Panarin
The incident supposedly occurred at the end of 2023 and involved a member of the unidentified female staff of the Rangers who accompanied the team in the road games. According to the report, Panarin supposedly touched his phone and told him that he would return him to his hotel room. When the woman arrived there, Panarin supposedly pushed her to bed, but managed to escape.
The staff member did not report the incident to the police, and the administration of the Rangers only learned of him several months later. She revealed the alleged incident to club officials after she was licensed due to a separate matter. He had shared anxiety medications with another nameless Rangers player, a substance that is prohibited for athletes unless a doctor is prescribed by a doctor. Believing that his suspension was unfair, he informed the management that Panarin had allegedly tried to assault her.
In August 2024, the woman resigned from the organization after signing non -dissemination agreements. As reported, the woman reached a private agreement with Panarin and MSG Sports, the company that owns the Rangers. The NHL, which was supposedly aware of the situation, considered the closed matter. Neinder The League or the club revealed whether any disciplinary measure was tasks against Panarin. The player and his agent declined to comment.
Not the first Panarin scandal
This is not the first controversy involving the 33 -year -old striker. In 2021, Panarin was removed from the alignment of the Rangers after former player and coach Andrei Nazarov alleged in an interview that Panarin had assaulted a 18 -year -old woman in Riga in 2011.
“He faced a criminal case, a trial and a real prison time. But some influential premises in Riga intervened. The negotiations were heroes with police leadership. I did not participate, but I heard about a € 40,000 Casckey to silence.
At that time, the Rangers placed Panarin with unpaid license while investigating the matter. Later, the club concluded that the story was manufactured and did not discipline the player.
Personal life and professional performance
Panarin has been married since 2020 with Alisa Znarok, daughter of the former coach of the Russian national team Oleg Znarok. The couple was dating the World Championship in 2016, where Oleg trained the national team. In 2023, they welcomed their first child, a son named Luka.
Duration The recent regular season of the NHL, Panarin led the Rangers at points, registering 89 points (goals + assists) in 79 games, 20 more than the next closest teammate. The most valuable player of the team was named in a season in which the Rangers could not reach the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Panarin is still the best paid player in the team, with an average annual salary of $ 11.6 million. Since he signed with the Rangers in 2019, he has the top scorer of the team every season.
From now on, the New York Rangers have not publicly responded to the accusations. Given the growing public attention, a club statement is expected soon.
