MELBOURNE, Australia, March 27. AFTER the Victorian Police Department took a Ukrainian coach into custody following a physical altercation with a swimmer, who turned out to be his daughter, at the Rod Laver Arena, FINA announced that it would begin an immediate investigation into the incident.

In its latest press release, FINA named Mykhaylo Zubkov as the coach involved in the case and immediately withdrew Zubkov's accreditation.

The investigation and future punishment will be handled by the FINA Disciplinary Panel.
