Apparently Roma got hit by a similar ban back in 2005, over the transfer of Philippe Mexes from Auxerre.
Anyone know on what grounds the CAS lifted the ban?

Could it have been harsher because he was under 18 at the time?
Fifa and Uefa want to break the PL stronghold and this is another way of demonstrating it - it's a ridiculous precident they will now have to police and enforce.

I will try to get the text of the resolution or more hard data, because I see some freedom of trade issues there.
Contracts are "broken" all the time - it's normal in business - outcomes should be about the cost of breaking that contract, not about power based punishments or "ideas".

I get all restless when Platini and the other retards running football get all righteous and regulatory with stuff.
They've turned the sport into politics and power struggles, when it's just about 22 basterds running, scoring goals, breaking legs, and entertaining us for a couple of hours every weekend.

It's the first time I see something like this. How much jurisdiction does FIFA have over UEFA and the PL?
