Vital evidence in Tevez affair
SHEFFIELD United made a submission to the Court of Arbitration for Sport before last night's deadline imposed by the Lausanne based body as it prepares to investigate whether it can hear West Ham's appeal over the Carlos Tevez Affair.
The Star understands it contains evidence which they believe proves the Premiership club are powerless to overturn the ruling of an independent tribunal ordering West Ham to pay damages for breaching transfer regulations when they signed the Argentine striker two years ago.
United successfully argued that Tevez helped West Ham survive at their expense with Lord Griffiths and his team agreeing that the player was worth at least three points to the Londoners in the 2006-7 relegation battle.
West Ham are now attempting to have that verdict quashed but United, having delivered the necessary paperwork to Switzerland before yesterday's 4pm cut-off, are confident that CAS officials will confirm they have no authority to intervene in what Bramall Lane insists is essentially a private dispute.
Now it appears West Ham can only proceed on a point of law, if one can be found.
