LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) -- Legia Warsaw has lost its appeal for compensation from UEFA after being eliminated from the Champions League for fielding an ineligible player.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport said Thursday that its panel dismissed the Polish champion's demand for 1,854,385 euros ($2.06 million) compensation.
The three-member court panel found that Legia broke a clear UEFA rule requiring suspended players to be registered for matches in order to serve their ban.
As a result, ''the panel found that it was not necessary to address the claim for compensation,'' CAS said in a statement.
