Disgraced former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner has been banned for life from any kind of football-related activity.
The former CONCACAF president has been punished for misconduct, following an investigation into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Warner has been embroiled in a series of scandals and is currently fighting extradition to the USA on charges of racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering.
He left FIFA in 2011 after being implicated in an earlier bribery scandal, although he has denied wrongdoing and FIFA said at the time that the "presumption of innocence is maintained".
But on Tuesday, he was banned "from taking part in any kind of football-related activity at national and international level for life" by the adjudicatory chamber of FIFA's Ethics Committee, chaired by Hans-Joachim Eckert.
