Porto cleared to play in Champions League

"FC Porto have been admitted to the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League, following a ruling by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body," UEFA said in a statement.

"The control and disciplinary body noted that it was... not authorised to rule on the admission or exclusion of Porto and has closed its investigation and struck it off the list of cases."

UEFA said: "A club that wishes to take part in the UEFA Champions League must not have been directly and/or indirectly involved in any activity aimed at arranging or influencing the outcome of a match at national or international level and must confirm this to the UEFA administration in writing."
