Soccer: Bosnich loses four appeals

Suspended Australian goalkeeper Mark Bosnich yesterday lost four of his five appeals against the sanctions handed out to him by English Premier League soccer giants Chelsea.

The findings, from a three-man English Premier League panel, are the latest in a lengthy process of hearings and legal wrangling involving Bosnich's sacking by Chelsea after he failed a drugs test.

The 31-year-old is challenging Chelsea's decision to fine him over the incident, claiming his drink was spiked with cocaine in a club.

He still has three months of a nine-month suspension handed down by the Football Association left to serve.
