3:21 pm
a flawed investigation process and they also said that some of the key evidence was obtained illegally by hackers now we obviously saw the result of that appeal today and we've obviously seen everything but 10000000 euros has been wiped from the record but the result that we've seen today i were you surprised by this what in the world of sports what are the general reaction i don't think anybody will be surprised by this whatsoever this is the latest in a very damning line of punishments that you wife has sanction against clubs just to be wiped away from the court of arbitration for sport this happens in manchester city. quite in the past the ladies happened to p.s.g. in chelsea recently as well a lot of people thought that this particular ban would be reduced from 2 years to one start of high and maybe they can come down a little bit lower so to have it completely wiped from the record is really damning indeed and we've seen a lot of key figures in the game gary lineker for example a very key figure in the english game has said he doesn't know financial fair play
