Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a triangle, EE and FF the points where the incircle and AA-excircle touch ABAB, and DD the point on BCBC such that the triangles ABDABD and ACDACD have equal in-radii. The lines DBDB and DEDE intersect the circumcircle of triangle ADFADF again in the points XX and YY. Prove that XYABXY\parallel AB if and only if AB=ACAB=AC.
