CAS Explains Man City Ruling: Club Showed ‘Blatant Disregard’ For FFP But Didn’t Cheat
MANCHESTER, England — UEFA's claim that Manchester City "disguised equity funding" from their owners was "unsubstantiated" but the club showed "blatant disregard" to the Financial Fair Play investigation, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Tuesday.
The CAS panel that heard Premier League City's appeal published their full reasoning for overturning the English club's two-year ban from European football earlier this month.
The decision allows City to compete in next season’s elite Champions League competition.
