The Spanish club insist they have not broken any rules in their registering of players under the age of 18 and do not deserve the sanctions imposed by the governing body.Atletico Madrid have lodged an appeal against the two-window ban on registering new players handed to them by Fifa.On January 14, Atletico and Real Madrid were handed sanctions by the governing body's Disciplinary Committee as a consequence of breaching regulations "relating to the international transfer and registration of players under the age of 18".The punishment prohibits the club from registering new players in the next two transfer windows and included a fine of 900,000 Swiss francs (€820,000).
After studying the documentation, Atletico have notified the Fifa Appeal Committee of their desire to contest the punishment.The club have maintained their innocence and have requested the ban be suspended until a decision on the appeal is reached.We consider that we have acted within the law in all cases, a statement read. In addition, we request the probationary suspension of the sanction pending the outcome of the appeal.
