FIFA place 90 game ban on Bin Hammam

The governing body has placed a ninety day ban on the Qatari after his alleged financial mismanagement.

The 63-year-old’s lifelong ban from the game was overturned last week by the Court of Sport Arbitration and but FIFA have still placed a 90 game ban on him until they conduct their own investigation.

"At the request of Michel J. Garcia [chairman of the investigatory chamber of the Ethics Committee], Hans-Joachim Eckert [chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of the Ethics Committee] today [Thursday] provisionally banned Mohamed bin Hammam from taking part
in any kind of football-related activity at national and international level for a period of a maximum of 90 days.”

"The decision was taken based on art. 83 par. 1 in fine of the FIFA Code of Ethics, in order to prevent interference with the establishment of the truth in respect of a preliminary investigation initiated pursuant to article 62 par. 2 of the FIFA Code of
Ethics.

"The investigation aims inter alia at assessing the PwC report of 13 July 2012 in respect of potential misconduct on behalf of Mr bin Hammam in the light of the provisions of the FIFA Code of Ethics and at assessing the prospects of collecting further evidence
relevant to the recently closed CAS proceedings in the case of Mr Mohamed bin Hammam v/ FIFA as well as at undertaking investigative efforts to this end,” a statement from FIFA read.
