Manchester City have had their appeal to the Court of Arbitration (CAS) for Sport thrown out, over UEFA's plan to probe their Financial Fair Play (FFP) dealings. City had claimed that there was no case to answer, and felt that there wasn't a legitimate allegation of FFP breaches. After CAS's ruling, the Premier League champions now risk being banned from the Champions League, if they're found guilty of not following FFP rules. City had decided to appeal against UEFA's investigation in June of this year, but now UEFA's Adjudicatory Chamber can launch their full investigation into the club's financial dealings.
