Observer Posted January 21, 2003 I have heard making this claim on TV. Now he is gone. FIFA commission bans official Associated Press ZURICH, Switzerland -- A Somali soccer official who said he was offered bribes to vote for FIFA president Sepp Blatter was suspended from the sport's governing body for two years. FIFA's disciplinary commission said Monday that Farah Addo, the president of the Somali Football Association, failed to prove his bribery accusations. He made "unfounded allegations of unethical conduct'' and "undermined the interests of football as a whole,'' FIFA said. Addo said last March he was offered $100,000 to support Blatter in the 1998 presidential campaign. Blatter won the vote against European soccer chief Lennart Johansson. Addo had accused FIFA executive committee member Mohamed Bin Hammam of paying the bribes. Last year, Blatter was accused of corruption and mismanagement by former FIFA general secretary Michel Zen-Ruffinen. Blatter was cleared of any criminal conduct last month. Zen-Ruffinen was forced out after Blatter's re-election in June. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
