On Monday judgement will be delivered in the Fabian McCarthy case after Kaizer Chiefs was found guilty of fielding the former Bloemfontein Celtic and Sundowns defender without properly registering him.

McCarthy refused to renew his contract with Sundowns

and approached the Supreme Court to be released from

the 'Brazilians' in order to pursue his career

elsewhere.

The court granted McCarthy his wishes and ordered

Sundowns to furnish the Sydney Olympian his clearance

certificate. Sundowns filed an appeal against the

court judgement.

However in the interim, a PSL employee ordered the

management committee to issue a clearance certificate

to enable Kaizer Chiefs to sign the versatile

defender.

Sundowns attorney Jose Ferreira cautioned the PSL

against processing McCarthy's registration until their

appeal case has been finalized, but his pleas fell on

deaf ears.

Last month, the Safa Appeal Board upheld the Sundowns

appeal and in the process found Chiefs guilty of

fielding McCarthy who they claimed was not properly

registered.

Chiefs in turn filed for arbitration. An arbitrator

has been selected and will on Monday deliver his

verdict in the case and his decision shall be final

and binding on all parties.

If found guilty, Chiefs stand to lose four points

gained when they held Sundowns to a goalless draw in

Pretoria and then registered a 2-0 victory in

Rustenburg.

Chiefs are currently lying sixth on the log standings

and the deduction of four points will be a terrible

blow as it could affect their qualification for the

SAA Super Eight Cup competition.
