Beşiktaş goes to Court of Arbitration for Sport
Beşiktaş will go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after their one-year ban was reaffirmed by UEFA on Monday.
Beşiktaş Board Member Melih Sami Esen stated later on Monday that they would go to the court before the UEFA cup draw, adding, "This was a heavy decision. We will do our best to defend Beşiktaş. This decision may be juridical, however not every decision is fair."
