FIFA imposes life from football member

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

Blazer, who was on Fifa's executive committee until 2013,
and Fifa president Sepp Blatter
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.
A Fifa statement said Blazer "committed many and various
acts of misconduct".
In May, several Fifa officials were arrested on charges of
racketeering, fraud and money laundering.
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.
