FC Barcelona's transfer ban appeal dismissed by CAS

FC Barcelona's two-window transfer ban appeal has been rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS),which means that they will not be able to sign any player until after the 2015 season.

They were found guilty and banned by Fifa for signing under aged players outside Spain.
Their ban has been confirmed and the CAC states,

"CAS has dismissed the appeal filed by FC Barcelona against Fifa regarding the decision issued by the Fifa Appeals Committee on August 19, 2014," said a CAS statement.

"The panel found in particular that FC Barcelona had breached the rules regarding the protection of minors and the registration of minors attending football academies... Accordingly, the Fifa decision is confirmed in full and the sanction remains in force."
