GENEVA -- After an internal investigation, UEFA has found that former general secretary Gianni Infantino and current president Aleksander Ceferin did not break any rules when the governing body of European soccer sent a multimillion dollar loan to the Slovenian federation.The 4 million euro ($4.4 million) deal for a betting company investment in June 2015 -- which an internal UEFA report says was granted in real exception -- has been scrutinized because it was signed off by Infantino and Ceferin. They have since won unexpected elections as presidents of FIFA and UEFA, respectively.A Norwegian magazine reported that FIFA ethics prosecutors are investigating Infantinos part in the loan. It said UEFA flouted financial protocol to approve the money, and noted that FIFAs code of ethics prohibits individuals from investing in soccer gambling operators.The UEFA disciplinary committee asked its investigations unit to report on claims initially made by Scandinavian media last month.The inquiry document, seen by The Associated Press, concluded that UEFA and the Slovenian federation respected the relevant provisions and conditions of granting loans to members.The loan was granted entirely in accordance with standard UEFA procedures and that the use of the loan funds by the Slovenian (federation) raised no questions either, UEFA said Wednesday in a statement to the AP.The document noted that FIFAs ethical rules on betting and integrity of matches relate to persons, not institutions. The code, therefore, does neither apply to UEFA, nor to national associations, the document concludes.Despite UEFAs internal report, FIFA ethics prosecutors can independently seek evidence and demand witness statements. However, it is unclear if an early stage probe has begun.The investigatory chamber of the FIFA ethics committee said it would never confirm an ongoing preliminary inquiry. But that can lead to a formal case being opened, which would typically be announced.The multimillion dollar loan from UEFA was detailed last month after FIFA built closer links to Slovenia.In July, FIFA appointed Slovenia state auditor Tomaz Vesel to chair its independent audit and compliance committee and a panel which sets salaries. Norwegian magazine Josimar reported that Vesel plays on an amateur soccer team with Ceferin, who it claimed was supported by Infantinos staff in what became a landslide win for the UEFA presidency in September.Interviewed by the AP last week, Ceferin described reports seeking to implicate him as mosquito bites helped by an old guard of soccer insiders opposing him.They had to try to invent some non-stories, Ceferin said at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, insisting the loan was as clean as possible. We asked for a loan, it was a strategic investment.The report says Infantino was not directly involved in Slovenias formal request in December 2014, which had one sole known and well-documented aim -- to buy a 17.3 percent share of the state lottery Sportna loterija. The owners include the Slovenian Olympic committee and national ski federation.UEFA said its loan policy is to co-finance strategic projects with a lasting impact and can never be granted to support bad management or wrong decisions.Slovenia got exceptional treatment at two stages of the process, the report acknowledged, though notes that UEFA previously granted 25 loans to member federations.One exception was in granting a force majeure loan in May 2015 that had to be approved by five senior UEFA officials, including then-president Michel Platini and Infantino. A detailed cash-flow plan also had to be given, and the Slovenian federation suggested the investment would earn extra revenue after eight years.UEFA said it also allows in very exceptional cases for its finance committee to grant loans guaranteed against a members future payments from UEFA-controlled broadcasting and sponsorship sales of World Cup and European Championship qualifying matches.UEFA wrote to Ceferin on April 28, 2015, that Platini must approve how Slovenia could repay the loan. It would be offset against 800,000 euro ($870,000) payments Slovenia was due to get each August from 2016 through 2020.Noting that other UEFA members had commercial ties to betting operators, the report said the Spanish soccer federation got 1 percent of national lottery profits which was worth 70 million euros ($76 million) since 1998.Furthermore, and as everybody knows, it is not at all uncommon for national football associations, or for football clubs, to have commercial relationships with companies in the lottery or gaming business, UEFA said in its statement Wednesday.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Two young right-handers only a year apart but at radically different stages of their careers will face each other when the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Angels finish their four-game series on Sunday at Angel Stadium.The Blue Jays Marcus Stroman, 25, has become a key member of the rotation in his first full season. The Angels Alex Meyer, 26, is trying to establish a foothold after shoulder injuries nearly short-circuited his career.Their respective teams also face extremely different fates. While the Angels are threatening to lose 90 games for the first time since 1999, the Blue Jays seek their second consecutive playoff spot. The American League Easts defending champions and the Baltimore Orioles hold the two wild-card spots while trailing the first-place Boston Red Sox by three games.Stroman has played a valuable role. The native of Medford, N.Y., leads the Blue Jays with 155 strikeouts and 184 innings pitched, both career highs. Stromans 47 walks are the fewest among Torontos starters.Yet the right-hander lost his previous three starts entering Sundays game. In his last four starts, Stroman has allowed 13 earned runs and 25 hits in 23 innings, with opponents batting .272 against him.In his last appearance Tuesday night, Stroman walked four batters in a game for the first time since June 26. Stroman gave up four runs on six hits, including a three-run home run to Alexei Ramirez, while striking out four in a 6-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.My stuff feels great, Stroman told MLB.com afterward. But were at the point in September where we need to be getting wins, so its frustrating.Yet Stroman has faced far worse. Last year, he tore the anterrior cruciate ligament in his left knee during spring training, but aggressive rehabilitation enabled the right-hander to return to the mound in mid-September and win all four of his regular-season starts, then add a victory over the Kansas City Royals in the American League Championship Series.ddddddddddddThis year, Stroman lost four of six decisions during a nine-game stretch from May 17 to June 26. He allowed 38 earned runs and 67 hits in 45 1/3 innings while opponents batted .353. But from July 1 through Aug. 21, the right-hander compiled a 3.02 ERA.I definitely dealt with a rough stretch, Stroman told the Toronto Star. But that just showed me how strong I am to get through that on my own, and be able to change my mechanics mid-season and have success. I feel like September is my best month so I feel like Im really gong to turn it on.Meyer, acquired from the Minnesota Twins at the trading deadline, has thrown just 40 innings covering 12 games at four different levels, from the Arizona Rookie League to the American League. In 10 major-league games over the past two seasons, the former first-round draft choice has yet to register a victory.In his last start Tuesday night, Meyer permitted four runs and five hits while throwing 76 pitches in just five innings of an 8-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners.Ive just got to do a better job of mixing in off-speed pitches earlier, Meyer told MLB.com. I tried to do too much fastball, especially when I was behind. Obvious they were jumping all over that and I wasnt able to throw it by anybody tonight.
