LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- The Mexico Football Federation (FMF) has given evidence at sport's highest court to challenge FIFA fines for fans yelling an anti-gay slur at World Cup qualifying matches.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport says a verdict in Mexico's appeal is expected within weeks.
FIFA imposed fines on the FMF totaling 85,000 Swiss francs ($85,000) after five World Cup qualifiers played since November 2015.
The chant, which is heard across Latin American football, targets the opposing goalkeeper while taking a goal kick.
FIFA also fined other federations for similar chants since taking a stronger stance after the 2014 World Cup.
