LAUSANNE, Switzerland(AP) Peru striker Claudio Pizarro won a court victory over his national federation Friday after being accused of partying with prostitutes following a World Cup match.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned a $10,000 (7,650) fine imposed on Pizarro by the Peruvian football association after the alleged November 2007 incident.

"The facts put forward by (the federation) in relation to Pizarro were not supported by concrete evidence," sport's highest court said in a statement.
