Here's the link for the article on FIFA.

http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/feder...wsid=1097777.html#kakuta+drc+decision+reached

On the occasion of its last meeting held on 27 August 2009, the Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) was called to pass a decision in a contractual dispute opposing the French club Lens to the French player Gael Kakuta and the English club Chelsea.

The French club had lodged a claim with FIFA seeking compensation for breach of contract from the player and requesting also sporting sanctions to be imposed on the player and the English club for breach of contract and inducement to breach of contract respectively.

The DRC found that the player had indeed breached a contract signed with the French club. Equally, the DRC deemed it to be established that the English club induced the player to such a breach.

As a result the player was condemned to pay compensation in the amount of EUR 780,000, for which the club, Chelsea, are jointly and severally liable, and sporting sanctions were imposed on both the player and Chelsea in accordance with art. 17 par. 3 and 4 of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players.

A restriction of four months on his eligibility to play in official matches has been imposed on Kakuta. Chelsea are banned from registering any new players, either nationally or internationally, for the two next entire and consecutive registration periods following the notification of the present decision.

Furthermore, the club, Chelsea, have to pay Lens training compensation in the amount of EUR 130,000.

[Kingellesar]

Even if they are allowed to sell players, why would they? They would need a back up:rofl:

This is so great.

 

[WhiteStripe]

Can they appeal?

 

[markiespurs]

This is great news, especially given the age of some of the Chelsea squad.

"two next entire and consecutive registration periods"

is that not only one year given there are two windows per year

"two next entire and consecutive registration periods"

Yep, so January and then next summer...hence a ban until January 2011!

"two next entire and consecutive registration periods"

is that not only one year given there are two windows per year

Presumably it's Christmas and next summer. I imagine it'll be overturned by then though.
