FIFA president Gianni Infantino concedes the Court of Arbitration for Sports decision to uphold Michel Platinis ban from football is very sad for him.Platini had hoped sports highest court would quash his six-year ban but the Lausanne-based body only reduced it to four years, effectively ending his career in the game.But Infantino, who was in Mexico City for his first FIFA Council meeting, insists he has no issues with the outcome, which will see Platini resign as UEFA boss. Infantino said: As president, I respect the decision of CAS, no doubt about that. On a personal level, of course, Im very sad about the decision.Ive followed Michel for nine years at UEFA, seven as general secretary.As UEFA president, he and I did some great things together and, at this moment, I really want to focus on those positive memories. On a personal level, of course, Im very sad about the decision. Gianni Infantino Infantino only entered the race to succeed Sepp Blatter as FIFA boss because Platinis ban left UEFA without a candidate.Platini and Blatter, his former mentor, were initially given eight-year bans by a FIFA ethics committee in December over a £1.3m payment the latter paid the France icon in 2011.But the bans were reduced to six years by a FIFA appeals panel in February. Michel Platini had his ban reduced to four years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) The pair have always claimed this was the balance of money Platini was owed since 2002 for consultancy work, and he had agreed to wait for payment until FIFA could better afford it.But the three-man CAS panel said they could only find evidence for a salary to Platini and noted the payment was made shortly before the contentious 2011 FIFA presidential election that saw Blatter installed for a fourth term.

I had to do something to not be stressed about it.Jenkins earned his first career victory, pitching six innings and helping the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 on Friday night.Jenkins, acquired in the November 2014 trade that sent Jason Heyward to St. Louis, began the game with a 6.43 ERA and 26 baserunners allowed in his first three career starts, a span of 14 innings.Jenkins (1-2) did a lot better against the Phillies, allowing one unearned run on four hits and four walks. He struck out four.Pitching exclusively from the stretch, Jenkins struggled with his command in the fourth, walking two and loading the bases with two outs, but Odubel Herrera swung at the first pitch and popped up.I couldnt wait for this day to get here, Jenkins said. I hate sitting on a bad start. Watching the film, every ball that was hit this past Sunday (at Colorado) made me ready to get out there tonight.Phillies manager Pete Mackanin described Jenkins as effectively wild, but credited him for mixing in secondary pitches like his changeup.We knew that he walked people, but you cant sit on any pitch because he doesnt locate consistently, Mackanin said.
