MADRID -- Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have lost their appeals against one-year transfer bans by FIFA for breaking rules protecting underage players.On Thursday, FIFAs appeals committee dismissed challenges by both clubs after transfer embargoes were imposed in January.The bans were later frozen pending the appeals verdicts.The Madrid clubs have been blocked from registering new players until January 2018. The teams can make deals to sign players but cannot register them to play.Both clubs are to serve a transfer ban that prevents them from registering any players at national and international level for the next two complete and consecutive registration periods, FIFA said in a statement. The transfer ban applies to each club as a whole -- with the exception of the womens, futsal, and beach soccer teams -- and does not prevent the release of players.Both clubs denied wrongdoing in the matter, which was related to signing teenage players whose registration was accepted by the Spanish Football Federation.The players involved featured in games from 2005 to 2014.Real Madrid said in a statement it lamented the decision, calling it unjust.The club said it will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and it was optimistic about a reversal of FIFAs ruling.Atletico was also appealing.Our club does not agree with the decision ... so it has decided to appeal it to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, it said in a statement, adding that it had already hired a team of international experts to defend the case and protect the rights of the club.Our organization wishes to express that 100 percent of the licenses of our players that are part of this investigation and are still in the club, have been regularized by FIFA, receiving the authorization from the subcommittee in order to process their licenses and compete in their different categories, Atletico said.FIFA also upheld fines of 900,000 Swiss francs ($930,000) for Atletico and 360,000 Swiss francs ($370,000) for Madrid.It said both clubs have been issued with a reprimand and a warning and given 90 days in which to regularize the situation of all minor players concerned.Barcelona served a similar sanction for 2015 after stalling the transfer ban to enable them to sign players in the 2014 window. The Catalan club signed players such as Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal after the ban took effect again, but couldnt register them until after the ban period.---AP Sports Writer Graham Dunbar contributed to this report.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni.

The quest begins with what is supposed to be an easy one, although Germany has traditionally been a stubborn opponent to Canadian teams at international tournaments. The first-ballerAzhar Alis leadership has been under the scanner since Pakistans 4-1 ODI series loss in England. He was reportedly asked to step down from captaincy to focus on his batting. However an unlikely lifeline, even if he didnt expect it, came his way as those in the corridors of power couldnt take a decision in the absence of PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan, who was away on leave to recuperate from a heart surgery.The pressure, it seems, may have only mounted on Azhar after he nicked behind off the first ball, a 145kph Shannon Gabriel thunderbolt that snaked away off the seam after pitching on a fourth-stump line. Azhar, having been opened up, simply wafted at that good-length delivery, and watched it settle into the gloves of Denesh Ramdin before slowly trudging off.The VThe leg side for Sharjeel Khan is perhaps the cricketing equivalent of Sheldon Coopers spot. He peppers that region with short-arm jabs, whips and muscular pulls. It seemed like West Indies were in with a plan to prevent Sharjeel from skipping into his spot. The seamers hardly offered anything on middle-and-leg stumps, and instead tested Sharjeel outside off. He was initially perturbed by the early seam movement, but burst out of his comfort zone with a brace of scything drives over mid-off in the fifth over, bowled by Gabriel. Sharjeel then shovelled Carlos Brathwaite over wide long-on for six, his first leg-side boundary, at the end of the ninth over. Four balls later, Jason Holder was subjected to the same treatment.The stunning catchWhen Azam whipped Carlos Brathwaite over the top, the ball seemed destined to fly over the wide long-on boundary.... until Kieron Pollard used every inch of his 1.96 metre frame and plucked the ball out of thin air. Pollard took flight, and grabbed the ball with an outstretched right hand. But he was wary of the momentum taking him over the ad skirting, and thus tossed the ball back into the field of play. Pollard then rreclaimed his balance and the catch.dddddddddddd He deserved to take a bow for the sequence, which was just what he did, although in an angry manner.The reviewSulieman Benn beat Babar Azams inside edge and struck the pad with an arm-ball. Umpire Ahsan Raza shot down the lbw appeal, but Holder insisted on a review. The impact was in line with the stumps, but Hawk-Eye showed that the ball would carry on to hit the top of the stumps, probably because of the extra bounce Benn was extracting with his tall frame. The new zone of impact had been extended either side of the stumps by 1.6 cms, up to the edge, but anything on height still pointed to umpires call. S Ravi, the TV umpire, examined several replays before the on-field umpires call was upheld. Henderson Springer, West Indies interim coach, seemed to be having an intense chat about the review with the fourth umpire during the drinks interval, but the right call had been made.The mix-upCarlos Brathwaite bowled a cutter which Sarfraz Ahmed gently dabbed back in front of middle stump. Azam, seeing his partner take a few steps forward, responded and was nearly halfway down the pitch when Carlos Brathwaite ran in and collected the ball. While Sarfraz turned the single down, leaving Azam stranded, the bowler spun back and had all three stumps to aim at, but marginally missed.Wahabs 1-2 in vainWahab Riaz unleashed a fiery bouncer angling away outside off, and had Benn awkwardly ducking his head out of the way, in the 36th over of the chase. In the process, Benns spectacles popped out of the grille and fell on the floor. The next ball was a pinpoint yorker that shot through the defences of Benn and crashed onto the stumps. But Wahabs front foot had strayed, close-ups suggesting that his foot was on the line. Talk about ecstasy quickly giving way to agony. ' ' '
