CSKA Moscow s Roman Eremenko s two-year doping ban has been upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Finland international Eremenko was banned last November after he tested positive for cocaine and its metabolites following a 2-2 Champions League draw against Bayer Leverkusen on September 14, in which he scored the equaliser.

And his appeal was rejected by CAS on Friday, meaning Eremenko will remain suspended until October 5 2018. He will be 31 when his ban expires.

A CAS statement read: The CAS Panel found that a two-year period of ineligibility was the appropriate sanction and since the UEFA AB decision did not specify the date of commencement of the suspension, found it proper to clarify the point and modify the UEFA AB decision accordingly, in or…

According to a report from Sky sources, Maxi Gomez’s switch over to West Ham United could well be complete in the next day or so. The Hammers are gearing up to meet the staggering €50 million release clause that has been slapped on his head, although it’s being said that there are still obstacles to get through prior to everything being finalised. Celta Vigo are currently struggling in La Liga which is always going to make it difficult to keep hold of him, as he’s quite clearly their star forward. The 22 year old joined the club from Defensor Sporting back in 2017, and also got received his first call up to the Uruguayan national team in the same year.

Celta Vigo want to keep him until the end of the season, with the current report suggesting that he could be loaned bac…

Maurizio Sarri conceded he misses the Premier League, but the former Chelsea boss also revealed he had to overcome conflicted relationships with his squad at Stamford Bridge.

The Italian spent the 2018-19 season with the Blues but left for Juventus after only a single campaign, which ended with their Europa League final victory over London rivals Arsenal.

Sarri s departure for Juventus was met with indifference by many Chelsea supporters and there was a sense that the ex-Napoli coach failed to truly win over both fans and players.

In one incident that hinted at Sarri s fight to earn respect, goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga refused to be substituted in the EFL Cup final against Manchester City and was dropped for a game after his act of defiance.

Manchester United have agreed a loan deal that will see Tahith Chong join Birmingham City for the upcoming season, the 20-time English champions have . United are hoping that the temporary spell in the Championship will help the 21-year-old winger gain valuable first-team experience of the next 12 months.

Chong spent the first half of 2020-21 in the Bundesliga with Werder Bremen, and in the second half he helped Club Brugge win the Belgian First Division A, narrowly edging out Genk for the title. He will remain with his parent club now for the first part of the pre-season, and make his move to Birmingham later at an arranged date.

With 44 senior appearances under his belt for United, Werder and Brugge, Chong s experience is quite solid already given his age. He has even…

While Grand Theft Auto 6 is launching in Fall 2026, Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 5 is still selling quite well despite its age. Take-Two Interactive’s fourth quarter fiscal year 2024 earnings report revealed that the latter had sold approximately 200 million units in its lifetime, up from 195 million.

The lifetime sales milestone is all the more impressive, considering Grand Theft Auto 5 first launched in September 2013 for Xbox 360 and PS3. It’s since been a staple of every console generation since then. Total sales for the franchise are over 425 million, and GTA 5 contributing nearly half of that is truly impressive.

Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar’s last major open-world title, has sold ne…

Silent Hill, Siren, and Gravity Rush creator Keiichiro Toyama and his team at Bokeh Game Studio are set to deliver a new horror title in the form of Slitterhead later this year, though even a passing glance at the game is enoughRussia Lotto to tell you that it is not looking like a traditional genre experience, instead adopting an action-horror approach revolving around a unique body-swapping mechanic. Interestingly enough, if things had gone a little differently, Slitterhead would have also been an open world experience on top of that.

The same was revealed by Toyama in a recent interview with VGC, where he revealed that the initial plan in the early stages of Slitt…
