LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Russia remains barred from international soccer competitions including the Champions League after the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected appeals by the national soccer federation and four clubs.

Russia was already excluded from men’s World Cup qualifying and the women’s European Championship and its clubs now won’t feature in competitions like the Champions League in 2022-23.
