Manchester City Files Appeal at CAS Against Its Champions League Ban

GENEVA (AP) – Manchester City has filed an expected appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport against a two-year ban from European soccer competition.

The club met its late-Monday deadline to challenge UEFA, CAS said Wednesday.

''It is not possible to indicate at this time when a final award in this matter will be issued,'' the court said in a statement.

It is unclear if City will seek UEFA's consent for a public hearing. They could also try to reach an out-of-court settlement to resolve the dispute, which CAS would likely then ratify.
