Vladimir Kramnik, a 14-time world chess champion, was suspended by FIDE for one year in October 2025 due to violations of the ethics code, primarily stemming from public accusations against American grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky regarding cheating. The suspension includes an additional condition of performing community service and is considered conditional with a three-year probation period. Kramnik has announced plans to appeal the decision, citing numerous alleged procedural violations.
