The Argentina Football Association has banned former Estudiantes president Juan Sebastian Veron from playing for six months because he disobeyed the formation of Rosario Central as the new champion.
The former Manchester United and Chelsea midfielder and his Estudiantes teammates were protesting Rosario’s inclusion as “League Champion” as a result of an FA change last week’s rule change.
The top division of Argentina, which includes Apertura and Clausura, has two tournaments, and Angel di Maria’s Rosario finished the regular season with a total of 66 points, four more than Boca Juniors.
The team with the most points scored in the previous rules only received a spot in the Copa Libertadores in accordance with previous rules.
Each tournament moves into a knockout stage after a 16-game league, with Platense winning the Apertura.
Estudiantes protested prior to their 1-0 victory over Rosario in Clausura’s last-16 game on Sunday.
Veron received a “six-month suspension from all football-related activities,” and players who “engaged in the reprehensible conduct” received two game suspensions from the following season.
On Saturday, Estudiantes will face Central Cordoba in the Clausura quarter-final.

Jeamie “TKV” Tshikeva aspires to make history in DR Congo as the reigning British heavyweight champion, stepping off the plane with the belt slung over his shoulder and demonstrating the transformation of his parents and grandparents’ country.
Such a homecoming would have real weight in a country that was once known as Zaire, where 60, 000 people crowded into Kinshasa for Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle.
The British national from Tottenham tells BBC Sport, “It would be a big statement.” “Maybe I could go there and conduct a rumble in Jungle 2”
However, this is more than just a boxer’s romantic vision of his family.
The nation that forged his family’s identity also forced them to flee, a nation rife with soldiers, coups, poisonings, and deadly plots that repeatedly targeted Jeamie’s father.
According to Jeamie, “perhaps eight, ten years ago, it wasn’t safe to return.” However, things have changed recently.

A conflict, loyalty, and survival story.

Andre-Bruno Tshikeva, Jeamie’s grandfather, was a prominent officer in the Zairean army during the Belgian regime in the 1950s.
Jeamie claims that “people in France and Belgium study my grandpa.”
Andre-Bruno allegedly enlisted in Belgium to protect King Baudouin, according to the family. In 1960, Zaire resigned as a reputable lieutenant in the army.
In a military coup, he helped Mobutu Sese Seko, the authoritarian ruler who seized power in 1965, take control of the country.
Popularity, however, was risky in Mobutu’s Zaire. In what became known as the “Pentecost Plot,” Mobutu ordered the public hanging of four former cabinet ministers who were accused of conspiring against him in 1966.
The loyalty between Andre-Bruno and Mobutu deteriorated as a result of their viewing each other as a threat to their position.
Jeamie’s father, Makasi, describes what transpired next in Kolwezi, a remote but crucial city.
According to Makasi, “My dad had no idea, but Mobutu organized it so that it was all set up to kill him.”
A rebel force quickly swept through the area as he arrived.
According to Makasi, “He killed some of those rebels, took his Jeep, and ran.” He “couldn’t understand why his own people were battling him.”
Andre-Bruno was charged with facilitating violence and the murder of innocent people in Kinshasa. He was detained, detained, and imprisoned.
The method eventually turned to poison, and the attempt at his life persisted. Apparently, even one of his ten wives was paid to give toxins.
When one of his wives passed away, Andre-Bruno was freed from prison in 1973 on compassionate grounds, but the damage was irreversible.
Every time he used the restroom, Makasi says, “you could smell toxins.”
I enlisted in the army to avenge my father’s death.
At age 18, Makasi resolved the issue.
He claims, “I enlisted in the army to make amends for my dad’s passing.” My intention was to work hard, advance up the ranks, and work as Mobutu’s bodyguard. So I could shoot him if I came close enough to him.
But he never quite succeeded because his company was known for its excessive popularity. He claims that they planned to murder me in the same way that they did my father.
Makasi quickly rose to the position of commando instructor, instructing elite units, though.
He was once invited to a private meal, only to be informed that the chef had poisoned him.
A rope allegedly loosened during a training session caused him to plunge 80 feet. Makasi jumped ropes after being warned by a friend moments before.
He eventually fled with his young son and new wife. He arrived in Tottenham in 1991.
Jeamie says, “It’s funny how history repeats itself.”

A wrestler’s new life in Tottenham is portrayed by “Big Papa T.”

Makasi had been a pro wrestler for most of his youth, a highly regarded sport in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He later established a wrestling school in Haringey for the area’s children and continued wrestling in London under the name “Big Papa T.” He claims that WWE, which he was later known as WWF, had an idea for him before deciding to concentrate on raising his family.
He never fully let his guard down, though his family history included political foes.
He says, “I was concerned, but you have to be prepared.” I was training like a mad person, even though there is no money in wrestling. So I’ll kill you by hand unless you shoot me if someone approaches me.
While north London taught its own lessons, Jeamie grew up hearing these tales.
He witnessed the riots that followed Mark Duggan’s shooting in 2011 and the tension that followed.
He claims that “it was a wild situation” and that he never imagined that some of my friends might end up in prison.

Jeamie might have been filmed this Saturday in a different context than under the lights. He received his Middlesex University degree in film and television studies.
“Both of my parents lived well in the Democratic Republic of Congo.” They came from wealthy parents, he claims. They didn’t go through struggle.
“My dad is an educated man because he both earned degrees from universities in Africa and here.” He could only wish for his children.
However, the family trait would always come up.
“My grandad fought bravely.” My father fought bravely. He engaged in a lot of combat sports, Jeamie adds.
Jeamie started wrestling, going on to joke that his name would have been “Big Papa T Jr,” before switching to boxing, which is a more lucrative sport.
He won silver at the 2019 African Games in Rabat, represented DR Congo, and went professional in 2022 after 72 amateur matches.
With a chance to win a British title on free-to-air BBC television, TKV sees a way back to the beginning of his family’s story.
And Makasi is equally excited about having a homecoming.

For the fifth week in a row since Russia’s concerted offensive began to take its eastern city, Ukraine has waged a fierce defense of Pokrovsk while trying to finesse a US peace plan that has been heavily criticized by US lawmakers.
The Gornyak and Shakhtersky microdistricts in Pokrovsk have been completely liberated, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense on Monday.
It announced on Tuesday that fighting was taking place in the Myrnohrad district of Vostochny and Zapadny east of Pokrovsk.
Both cities are located in a box that the Russian forces have gradually tried to shut down in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. Russia claims to have effective fire control over those supply routes, and supplies and reinforcements can only currently reach Ukrainian forces from the west.
Officials from Ukraine continued that the battle for Pokrovsk’s defense was still ongoing. According to Ukraine’s head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, Andriy Kovalenko, who cited the 7th Air Assault Brigade fighting there on Sunday, “our positions are held in the center of Pokrovsk, shooting battles continue, and the enemy fails to consolidate.”
The Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad enclave has clearly seen a strain in its resources, but the presence of Russian offensive forces has not diminished their ability to attack elsewhere.
Russia claimed to have seize Petropavlovka in Donetsk, Tikhoye and Otradnoye in Dniperopetrovsk, Novoye Zaporozhiye and Zatishye in Zaporizhia, and Petropavlovka in Kharkiv, Novoselivka, Maslyakovka, Yampol, Stavki, Zvanovka, Petrovskoye, Ivan
About a half-dozen villages have been attacked each week by the Russian forces.

However, some of Russia’s assertions are disputed by Ukraine.
Russian General Staff Sergei Gerasimov announced on November 20 that his forces were setting up Ukrainian units on the left bank of the Oskil River to seize the city of Kupiansk in the northern Kharkiv region of Ukraine.
However, Kovalenko responded, “Russia did NOT occupy Kupiansk,” in a response to her on Telegram. “Gerasimov is just a liar,” he claimed a week later.
According to its commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskii, Ukraine has also had successes on the ground. The Defense Forces of Ukraine were able to carry out counteroffensive operations in the Dobropillia direction from the end of August to the end of October this year, he claimed, referring to a failed Russian flanking manoeuvre in a town to the northwest of Pokrovsk.
The units then liberated more than 430 square kilometers [166 square miles] of north of Pokrovsk, breaking up the enemy’s offensive group. More than 13, 000 people were killed and hurt in Russia.
In addition to putting more pressure on Ukraine’s rear, Russia also launched 1, 169 drones and 25 missiles into its cities between November 20 and November 26. Zelenskyy demanded more short- and medium-range defenses after Ukraine successfully destroyed 14 of the drones and 14 of the missiles.

Disputed diplomacy
A 28-point peace plan presented by Donald Trump’s administration last week has been criticized as too Russia-friendly by members of the US Congress, including Europe, Ukraine, and members of the US Congress.
The original plan provided crucial details that Russia had demanded. That included the Ukraine’s promise to never join NATO and the force’s surrender of nearly all of Donetsk’s unoccupied territory. The other Western allies of the US and Ukraine would have to accept that those annexations were legal.
Within 100 days of the plan’s signature, Russia appears to believe that Zelenskyy would win. However, Ukraine would have to hold an election.
Additionally, Russia has urged Ukraine to effectively disarm. The plan’s goal is to reduce its military by about a third, to 600,000, according to the 28-point plan.
After seeing the plan, Zelenenskyy told the Ukrainian people that “right now is one of our history’s most difficult times,” and that he had to choose between the loss of our dignity and the threat of losing a key partner.
Senator Roger Wicker, the Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, stated in a statement that “I am very skeptical that this so-called “peace plan” will bring about peace.
It would be helpful to know for sure who the plan’s author and the location were, according to Polish Premier Donald Tusk, who was polite about it on social media.
According to the Reuters news agency, the plan heavily benefited from a Russian non-paper that the White House received in October.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters that “Trump’s 28-point plan, which we have,” includes the important agreements reached at the summit in Alaska.
Yury Ushakov, a senior Putin aide, told the TASS Russian state news agency, “I would say not all, but many of the provisions of this plan, they seem to us to be acceptable.”
A Ukrainian delegation led by former defense minister Rustem Umerov met with US negotiators in Geneva on Sunday to discuss the draft document, which was being drafted by the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
Europe ruled out allowing territorial disputes brought on by aggression, and suggested that territorial negotiations must begin at the Ukrainian border without having to give prior consent. Additionally, it suggested that Ukraine should keep a sizable army of 800,000 people under its belt and receive a reliable NATO security guarantee.
Their final decisions will be made by Trump and Zelenskyy, according to their joint statement released on Monday, which stated simply that they would “continue intensive work.”
Zelenskyy claimed that a significant amount of work had been done to turn the original 28 points into a workable agreement. He cryptically described the work that remained as “very challenging” and said that the list of necessary steps to end the war could now become realizable.
Trump and Zelenskyy have been pushed by Ukraine to have a meeting before December, but on Tuesday, Bloomberg released transcripts of a phone conversation between Trump confidant Steve Witkoff and Yury Ushakov, in which Witkoff advised Ushakov to call him before Zelenskyy had a chance to meet him. Putin should flatter Trump as a peacemaker to influence his decision-making and work with him directly to create the peace plan, according to Wittkoff.
Following that leak, Witkoff was forced to travel to Moscow the following week to meet with Russian officials to discuss the revised plan. After reviewing the original 28-point plan, General Kellogg resigned as mediator for Ukraine, which was confirmed by the White House.
It is obvious that Witkoff is completely in favor of Russians. He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations. Would a Russian-paid agent be more modest in his efforts? Republican Congressman Don Bacon wrote about it on social media.
It is obvious that Witkoff is completely in favor of the Russians for those who oppose the Russian invasion and want to see Ukraine emerge as a sovereign and democratic nation. He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations. Would a Russian-paid agent be more modest in his efforts? He ought to be fired. https://t.co/dxMsda0YV5
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, made his first significant comments on the peace proposal in Bishkek, Kyrgystan on Thursday, saying that signing documents with the Ukrainian leadership is pointless “because Zelenskyyy had outlived his mandate.”
According to him, “I think the Ukrainian authorities made a fundamental and strategic error when they gave in to the fear of voting in the presidential elections in the spring of 2025,” Zelenskyy’s four-year term was up.
Zelenskyy was elected in 2019, and under the terms of the constitution’s “national emergency,” Zelenskyy has twice been elected.
The 28 points, according to Putin, are “a set of questions that were suggested for discussion and final wording,” and do not constitute a peace treaty.
We generally concur that this could serve as the foundation for upcoming agreements, Puntin said.
