Fifa ban Warner from football for life

Fifa's ethics committee has banned the governing body's former vice-president Jack Warner from taking part in any football-related activity for life.

Mr Warner, who is fighting extradition from Trinidad to the United States on corruption charges, was described by the committee as a "key player" involved in illegal payments.

The committee said Mr Warner had been found to have committed "many and various acts of misconduct continuously and repeatedly during his time as an official in different high-ranking and influential positions at FIFA and [Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football] CONCACAF," the committee said in a statement.

Mr Warner resigned from Fifa in 2011 following a bribery scandal and has not been involved with the body since then.
