The former FIFA Vice President Jack Warner has been banned from football for life. The ethics committee for football's world governing body said Warner committed many and various acts of misconduct continuously and repeatedly. FIFA's ruling follows its own investigation into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups which began looking at Warner's activities in January. The 72-year-old Trinidadian is the former head of Concacaf, which governs football in North and Central America and the Caribbean. He quit FIFA in 2011. Warner is fighting extradition to the US on corruption charges and denies accepting millions of dollars in bribes. BBC sports news correspondent Alex Capstick is at FIFA's headquarters in Zurich.
And in a separate development, a US request to extradite Eduardo Li, the former head of the Costa Rican Football Federation has been approved. Now he was one of the men who was arrested in those dawn raids here. In the statement the Swiss authority said that he is accused of bribes, involving the sale of marketing rights to World Cup qualifiers for 2018. |
