What if I refuse to handshake in an event?

What if I have a rival whom I don't really like much in real life and I don't want to make a handshake with him and I refuse the handshake. What can fide do to me? Will the ban me like they did to sergey? Can my opponent complain about it to arbiters?

No unless your opponent is really mad about it which prolly won't happen but even if it does pretty sure you wont be disqualified.

it's respect for the game rather than your opponent
