Vladimir Kramnik, a former World Chess Champion and Russian grandmaster, was disqualified by FIDE for two years due to violations of its ethical code. The disciplinary action followed public statements he made accusing American chess player Daniel Naroditsky of cheating, which FIDE deemed as harassment and humiliation of personal dignity. Additional allegations included claims that Kramnik's remarks contributed to Naroditsky's depression and suicidal thoughts. Kramnik has challenged the decision, asserting that FIDE's accusations were unfounded.
