MADRID - The Court of Arbitration for Sport on Tuesday dismissed Barcelonas appeal and upheld a transfer ban that FIFA imposed on the club for breaking rules on registering minors as youth players.Barcelona had breached the rules regarding the protection of minors and the registration of minors attending football academies, CAS said in a statement.The ruling means Barcelona will be barred from signing any players in 2015, although it can still renew existing contracts, fire players and recall those loaned to other clubs, such as Denis Suarez and Gerard Deulofeu, both at Sevilla.CAS also upheld a fine of 450,000 Swiss francs ($455,000) imposed against Barcelona.FIFA said CAS had shown clear and strong support for FIFAs efforts to protect underage players.The club said in a statement it totally disagreed with the ruling and considered the sanction completely disproportionate.It said the club understood and supported FIFAs protection for minors policy and insisted it had acted correctly.Barcelonas youth structure has enabled hundreds of young players to achieve their dreams, the club said.Barcelona said it was evaluating legal options, including appealing the decision to the Swiss Federal Court.A gross injustice has been committed, Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu said. Priority has been given to a poorly-conceived rule rather than to its spirit.The club is renowned for training and educating young players such as Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta at its La Masia academy.FIFA exerts rigid control over transferring minors across international borders. In Feb. 2013, FIFA found that Barcelona had violated those regulations when it signed 10 players under the age of 18 to its academy.It was that finding that Barcelona appealed. The club now has 90 days to regularize the situation of all minor players affected by the ruling.The international transfer of players under the age of 18 can only go through if their parents move to the country for non-football reasons.Players between 16 and 18 can move within Europe if certain standards of education and living conditions are met.Barcelona has always argued that La Masia fulfilled the most stringent requirements.Spains league called La Masia a world-class example and said it was conducting a review into how Spains legislation might be at odds with FIFAs regulations and those applied elsewhere in the European Union.The league said in a statement that based on its conclusions it would consider making an official complaint to the competent EU bodies about FIFAs regulations governing transfers of minors.The concept of a youth training centre was first proposed to Barcelona by Johan Cruyff, who graduated from a similar program at Ajax, and La Masia was opened in 1979.Located away from the Nou Camp, it is a boarding school where academic learning is combined with physical training for talented young players.

He wants to get that colour back in his wardrobe. Watson surged to the Masters lead with a spree of birdies on the back side Friday, positioning him for a weekend run at his second green jacket in three years. "Im trying to get the jacket back," Watson said. "I want that feeling again." The 2012 champion at Augusta National sparked the best run of the tournament so far when he stuck his tee shot at No. 12 within 3 feet of the cup. He tapped in for the first of five straight birdies that propelled him to a 4-under 68. Even after making his second bogey of the tournament by missing a short putt at the 18th, Watson walked off with his second straight round in the 60s, a 7-under 137 total and a three-stroke lead -- the biggest 36-hole advantage at Augusta since 2006. "Its not science here," Watson said. "Its try to hit the greens, and if youre hitting the greens that means youre obviously hitting your tee shots well. So thats all Im trying to do, just hit the greens." Look whos in the mix again, too: 54-year-old Fred Couples, who posted his second straight 71. This is the fifth straight year the 1992 winner has gone to the weekend in the top 10 -- he was leading two years ago -- but hes never been able to hang on. "I cant panic," said Couples, looking to become the oldest major champion in golf history. "Youre not going to pick up two or three shots here because you want to. Its not that kind of course. Youve got to hang in there, expect a tough shot here and there. Its going to be a tough day tomorrow." And dont count out defending champion Adam Scott, who got off to a rough start but rallied for 72. The Aussie was among those four shots back, still solidly in contention to become only the fourth back-to-back winner in Masters history. Watson opened Thursday with a 69 and went bogey-free through the first 26 holes, finally stumbling at the ninth. But that bogey was quickly forgotten when he put on a dazzling display of the golf that had the patrons roaring. He took advantage of both par 5s, sandwiched around a curling, 40-foot birdie putt at the 14th that prompted him to throw both arms in the air. Watson made it five in a row at the par-3 16th, pulling off another magnificent tee shot with the 9-iron, the ball rolling up about 4 feet short of the flag. He became only the fifth player in Masters history to run off nothing but birdies from the 12th to 16th holles.dddddddddddd A year ago, the left-hander finished in a tie for 50th last year as the defending Masters champion, his worst showing in five previous appearances. He likes being two years removed from his title a whole lot better. "I was in awe when I was the champion," Watson said. "I didnt know how to handle it the best way, so I didnt play my best golf." Watsons closest pursuer was Australias John Senden, who birdied 14 and 15 on his way to a 68 and 140 overall. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., shot an even-par second round, but his disappointing first round of 8 over will see him cut from the final weekend. The project cut is 4 over. Former Masters champion Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont., will almost assuredly move on after a round of even par. He followed four birdies on the front nine with four bogeys on the back to sit at 1 over after two rounds. Scott bogeyed three of the first five holes but wound up at 141. He was joined by Denmarks Thomas Bjorn, who birdied four of the last five holes for a 68; Swedens Jonas Blixt, who managed 71 despite a double-bogey at the 11th; and 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, hardly looking like an Augusta rookie when he closed out 70 with a birdie at the tough finishing hole. Five shots back with Couples were Jimmy Walker, a three-time PGA Tour winner this season who shot 72, and Jim Furyk, whose 68 matched Watson, Senden and Bjorn for the best round of the day. First-round leader Bill Haas, teeing off on a warm, sunny afternoon with the wind picking up and the greens getting firmer, was still at 4 under approaching the turn. Then came a miserable stretch of holes starting at No. 9: bogey, bogey, double-bogey, bogey, bogey. He staggered to a 78 -- 10 shots higher than the day before, knocking him nine shots back. At least Haas gets to keep playing. Three-time winner Phil Mickelson missed the Augusta cut for the first time since 1997. Lefty had a triple-bogey at the 12th, where he knocked three straight shots in bunkers for his second triple of the tournament. Three birdies on the back side gave him a glimmer of hope, but 73 totalled up to 149 -- one shot too many. "Its tough to overcome those big numbers," said Mickelson, who had plenty of big-name company beyond the cut line. Sergio Garcia, Luke Donald, Ernie Els, Graeme McDowell, Dustin Johnson, Angel Cabrera and Charl Schwartzel were all headed home as well before the weekend.
