CAS upholds banning Russian teams from UEFA competitions

Russia remains locked out of European soccer competitions after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) denied the Russian Football Union’s appeal against UEFA’s ban.

“The challenged decision remains in force and all Russian teams and clubs continue to be suspended from participation in UEFA competitions,” CAS said in a statement Tuesday.

A separate ruling on the Russian men’s team’s removal from World Cup qualifiers is expected later this week.

CAS upholding UEFA’s ban means the country is still barred from this summer’s European Women’s Championship in England and from its youth teams’ qualifiers for European Championships. Spartak Moscow remain unable to continue their Europa League journey; their last-16 opponents, RB Leipzig, were given a bye to the quarterfinals.

Russia’s soccer governing body also appealed FIFA’s decision to throw its men’s team out of its upcoming playoff matches for the 2022 World Cup. The union accused FIFA of bowing to “pressure from direct rivals” – namely the governing bodies of Poland, Sweden, and the Czech Republic – when deciding to throw Russia out of the qualifiers.

CAS said it will likely make a decision on that specific appeal “at the end of this week.”

FIFA and UEFA imposed their bans for an indefinite period on Feb. 28 while jointly expressing “full solidarity with all the people affected in Ukraine” after Russia began its invasion of the country four days earlier.

Domestic football continues in Russia amid international condemnation. The Russian Premier League has another full slate of matches scheduled for next weekend, but several clubs have faced an exodus since Russia declared war on Ukraine. Earlier in March, eight foreign players left top-flight club Krasnodar, following German manager Daniel Farke and his coaching staff.

Sources: Jets, Fins in trade talks for Chiefs' Hill

The New York Jets and Miami Dolphins are in serious talks to trade for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, league sources told ESPN.

Hill is expected to receive a massive contract extension from the team that trades for him, according to sources.

Multiple teams were approached about a potential Hill trade, but the Jets and Dolphins emerged in recent days as the two finalists, sources said.

Hill and Chiefs are mulling what to do, sources said, and a decision is likely within the next 48 hours.

Dolphins assistant general manager Marvin Allen was the Chiefs director of college scouting for five years, from 2013 to ’17, when Kansas City drafted Hill.

Both the Jets and the Dolphins are in need of a No. 1 wide receiver to aid their young quarterbacks, Zach Wilson and Tua Tagovailoa, respectively.

Hill, who has been selected to the Pro Bowl in all six seasons of his NFL career, had a career-best 111 receptions for 1,239 yards and nine touchdowns last season.

He has 479 receptions for 6,630 yards and 56 touchdowns in his career.

If the Chiefs trade Hill, the Chiefs’ wide receiver corps would include free-agent addition JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, Josh Gordon, Justin Watson, Cornell Powell, Gehrig Dieter and Corey Coleman.

The team still would be expected to add wide receivers in free agency and the draft.
