FIFA Foreign Membership Vote

TALAI:
The European Parliament voted against FIFA president's Sep Blatter's proposal to curb the number of foreigners at soccer clubs by voting against the proposals on Thursday (May 8).
FIFA opposes the UEFA rule, which sets a quota of locally-trained players at clubs but without any discrimination on nationality, arguing it encourages recruitment at a young age.
"We put an amendment on this issue, on the 6+5, because it is totally against European regulation. There shouldn't be discrimination based on nationality which is in the treaty and on the other hand free movement of persons is very important," said Emine Bozkurt, Dutch MEP for the Socialist Party of Europe.
And on to Formula One racing where world champion Kimi Raikkonen can chalk up his third win of the season on Sunday and shatter Ferrari team mate Felipe Massa's dream of a Turkish Grand Prix hat-trick.
Brazilian Massa has won from pole position in Istanbul for the past two years but Raikkonen, winner with McLaren in the inaugural Turkish Grand Prix of 2005, has the momentum.
The Finn is nine points clear of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton after four races including the most recent in Spain that saw him dominate from pole position. Briton Hamilton said the Turkey Grand Prix was one of only two tracks on which the racers travel anti-clockwise.
"It is quite challenging for the all drivers especially turn eight where we will be pulling around 4-5gs for I think it is around eight seconds and if you are doing that every lap it is very very tough on the left hand side of the driver's neck mainly because all the other circuits you are using mostly the right side of your body, so you have to make sure you are prepared well for this race," he said.
