FIFA clear Blatter, suspend Hammam

The FIFA ethics committee suspended one-time presidential candidate Mohamed bin Hammam and FIFA vice-president Jack Warner yesterday while clearing FIFA president Sepp Blatter of corruption.

The committee, chaired by Namibian Petrus Damaseb, heard 62-year-old Qatari bin Hammam, Warner and Blatter during a dramatic day which had started with bin Hammam withdrawing from the presidential election in which he was Blatter's sole opponent. Two members of the Carribbean Football Union Debbie Minguell and Jason Sylvester, who were said to have colluded with bin Hammam and Warner, were also suspended.

The FIFA presidential election will also go ahead as planned on June 1, announced FIFA secretary-general Jerome Valcke after the ethics committee announced its findings.
