An attempt from US clubs collect Training Compensation from players fails A US District Court has dimissed a class action lawsuit filed by 3 youth clubs against the MLS Players Union and the players Michael Bradley, Clint Dempsey, and DeAndre Yedlin. FIFA's solidarity fee and training compensation systems are not mplemented in the USA because these systems violate the US anti-trust law. 'The Mag' reports that Crossfire Premier, the Chicago Sockers, and the Dallas Texans who saw their class action lawsuit fail have submitted a claim with the FIFA DRC. The DRC is competent in TC disputes between clubs of a different national federations and therefore claims brought against a foreign club for not paying TC appear to make a good chance. However when a club files a complaint against a domestic league or club the DRC should not accept competence. http://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/SoccerFees.pdfw.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/SoccerFees.pdf
