Chuck Blazer: Fifa imposes life ban from football on former member

Fifa has banned former executive committee member and ex-Concacaf general secretary Chuck Blazer from all football related activity for life.
Blazer, 70, worked undercover with prosecutors in the United States after pleading guilty to charges of bribery, money laundering and tax evasion.

In May, several Fifa officials were arrested on charges of racketeering, fraud and money laundering.

A Fifa statement said Blazer "committed many and various acts of misconduct".

Overall, 14 people were indicted, with the US justice department alleging bribes and kickbacks estimated at more than $150m (£97m) over a 24-year period
.
Blazer was the second highest official in Fifa's North and Central American and Caribbean region (Concacaf) from 1990 to 2011 and also served on Fifa's executive committee between 1997 and 2013.


Top work, FIFA, banning a man who hasn't worked at FIFA for several years, and who is a confirmed whistleblower. Fire the man who (albeit a few years too late) tells the truth :lolol:

Indeed - in fact i believe his only planned overseas "jaunt" at the moment is a trip over to Moscow to see his mate Putin

He must be holed up in Switzerland with a map of the world and his laptop bookmarked on the Wikipedia page "Countries Which Have An Extradition Treaty With The USA".

Not many places left to go on holiday now, Uncle Sepp :D

Let's hope he's been so busy working in his Swiss bolt hole, he hasn't kept in touch with recent international news. And decides a couple of weeks in Tunisia is just the ticket!
