Chelsea get lengthy transfer ban
Chelsea have been banned from signing any new players in the next two transfer windows by Fifa.
The Premier League club was found guilty of inducing French teenager Gael Kakuta to breach his contract with Lens when he joined in 2007.
"Chelsea is banned from registering any new players for the two next registration periods," a statement on Fifa's website read.
Chelsea can appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
A spokesman for the London club told BBC Sport that they were looking into the matter and hoped to issue a statement shortly.

Lens lodged a complaint with world football's governing body after Chelsea had signed the winger two years ago.
Now Fifa's dispute resolution chamber (DRC) has ruled that Kakuta breached his contract with Lens and that Chelsea induced him to do so.
Fifa's statement continued: "The French club had lodged a claim with Fifa seeking compensation for breach of contract from the player and requesting also sporting sanctions to be imposed on the player and the English club for breach of contract and inducement to breach of contract.
"The DRC found that the player had indeed breached a contract signed with the French club. Equally, the DRC deemed it to be established that the English club induced the player to such breach."
The DRC ruled that Kakuta must pay compensation of 780,000 euros (£682,000), for which Chelsea are "jointly and severally liable".

Chelsea must pay additional "training compensation" of 130,000 euros to Lens, while the player has been banned from playing in official matches for four months.
Kakuta ended 2007/8, his first season with Chelsea, as the youth team's top scorer and was voted the academy's player of the year.
His second season was brought to an abrupt end in February when he suffered a double fracture of his ankle.

The only difference is, and it's a pretty big difference, is that the lad we signed (or alleged to) was under 16 when he allegedly signed a pre-contract agreement with Le Havre as ast the time he was under 16. He never signed a full contract with them as he was legally unable to do so as he was under the age of 16, and by the time he was 16 he had his heart set on us. I'd be very suprised if we therefore got any punishment.

We could get a fine if they feel we tried to lure him, but with no contracts signed by him at our club, they can't ban us from anything.

I'm sure Platini would love to, racist shit.
