Fifa scandal: Jack Warner banned for life...

Jack Warner has been banned for life by Fifa, more than four years after quitting football.

The governing body’s ethics committee today announced the outcome of an investigation into Sepp Blatter’s disgraced former vice-president, who is also facing criminal charges in the United States over an alleged £100 million fraud.

Warner’s ban begins at the same time as Fifa’s ethics committee examines evidence that could lead to the suspension of Blatter and Michel Platini over a £1.3m suspected criminal payment to the Uefa president.

The ethics committee previously chose not to pursue a case against Warner, the former president of Concacaf, because he was no longer involved in football.

 But a change of policy saw it go after Trinidad and Tobago’s former minister of national security, even though any ban would be merely symbolic for a man who had little prospect of returning to the game. Full story...
