Soccer-CAS Upholds FIFA Ban On Russian Teams While Court Deliberates

Elliott tasted Gold Cup victory in 2016 with Don Cossack but there were times last year — in the aftermath of a 2019 picture of him sitting on a dead horse being circulated on social media — when he must have wondered whether it would ever happen again.

The media watchdog went on: "We take seriously the importance, in our democratic society, of a broadcaster's right to freedom of expression and the audience's right to receive information and ideas without undue interference.

Soccer governing bodies FIFA and UEFA had decided together that all Russian teams, whether national or club sides, be suspended from participation in FIFA and UEFA competitions until further notice after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.



Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said his superstar driver was disillusioned after Verstappen took advantage of Michael Masi's questionable implementation of the rules following a late safety car to win the title.

But when it was put to Hamilton that the controversy might have fuelled his desire to seek revenge, the Mercedes driver replied: 'That is not in my psyche and that is not how I am approaching this season.

A statement released by the regulator on Friday said: "We consider the volume and potentially serious nature of the issues raised within such a short period to be of great concern - especially given RT's compliance history, which has seen the channel fined £200,000 for previous due impartiality breaches.

March 18 (Reuters) - The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has rejected the request from the Russian Football Union (RFU) to freeze FIFA's decision to suspend all Russian teams and clubs from its competitions while the CAS deliberates on the case.

In a statement, she said: "Ofcom has shown the UK public, and the regulatory community internationally, that, despite a well-constructed facade of independence, it is nothing more than a tool of government, bending to its media-suppressing will.

Ofcom said it noted new laws in Russia which "effectively criminalise any independent journalism that departs from the Russian state's own news narrative", particularly in relation to the invasion of Ukraine.

March 18 (Reuters) - Russia's hopes of competing at the 2022 World Cup were effectively ended after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected a request from the Russian Football Union to freeze FIFA's suspension while their appeal is heard.

The future of the stable he had built from scratch in County Meath to become one of the most powerful operations in Britain or Ireland, with over 200 horses, was threatened as he was suspended by the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board for six months and had to hand over its running to caretaker trainer Denise Foster.

Ireland provided the 1-2-3 in last year's race and all are back again with a chance but if Willie Mullins-trained Al Boum Photo, who won in 2019 and 2020 before his 2021 third place, was to make it a remarkable third success he will have to defy recent trends as no 10-year-old has won since Cool Dawn in 1998.
