Saturn loses Kovel
FIFA invalidated Leonid Kovel's transfer from Ukrainian Karpaty to Saturn near Moscow. The 22-year-old Belarusian midfielder was loaned to the Lviv club by Dynamo Minsk in 2006, and at the beginning of this year he moved to Saturn with a scandal: Karpaty stated that their contract with the player runs until December 31, 2011 and accordingly he did not have the right to play for the Russian club, and submitted documents to the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber.
Last season, Kovel played 13 matches in the Russian Championship, and on November 28, the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber recognized Karpaty as right. The further fate of the football player, according to the Lviv club, will be decided after consultation with the president of Borussia Dortmund and the German Football League, Reinhard Raubal, who is dealing with this problem at FIFA.
