Former FIFA vVce-President Jack Warner Banned From Football for Life

FIFA's ethics committee has banned former vice-president Jack Warner from taking part in any football-related activity for life. He is accused of misconduct following an investigation into the bidding contest for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. The decision comes as Warner fights extradition from Trinidad on US charges of racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering.
Warner quit FIFA in 2011 after being implicated in an earlier bribery scandal. Football's world governing body said at the time the "presumption of innocence is maintained". But in Tuesday's ruling, FIFA said Warner "committed many and various acts of misconduct continuously and repeatedly during his time as an official in different high-ranking and influential positions at FIFA and CONCACAF". He is said to have been involved in the "offer, acceptance, and receipt of undisclosed and illegal payments".
