Russia's attempt to overturn UEFA's decision to suspend all Russian football teams from European competitions has been rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). 

 

The governing body of world football, FIFA, and European football, UEFA, ruled jointly on February 28 that all teams and clubs from the country could not take part in their competitions, and announced the venue of this year's Champions League final would move from Russian city St Petersburg to French capital Paris.

 

The Football Union of Russia (FUR), the equivalent of the English FA, had requested that the call was waived before the results of a full hearing - but the CAS has insisted the ruling will remain in place for now. 

 

A CAS statement said: 'The president of the appeals arbitration division of the CAS has denied the request filed by the FUR to stay, for the duration of the CAS proceedings, the execution of the UEFA executive committee's decision to suspend all Russian teams and clubs from its competitions until further notice.

 

'Consequently, the challenged decision remains in force and all Russian teams and clubs continue to be suspended from participation in UEFA competitions.'

 

The decision means Spartak Moscow, the only side left in the latter stages of the Champions League, Europa League or Europa Conference League, were thrown out of the Europa League last 16, with their opponents RB Leipzig receiving a bye. 

 

The result of a parallel appeal against FIFA's decision to throw Russia out of the 2022 World Cup is set to be issued before the end of this week. 

 

Currently, the national side cannot take part in qualifying for the FIFA World Cup, with their opponents Poland receiving a bye.

 

The statement added: 'Football is fully united here and in full solidarity with all the people affected in Ukraine.

 

'Both presidents hope that the situation in Ukraine will improve significantly and rapidly so that football can again be a vector for unity and peace amongst people.'

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.
