He Is Back!?! Adamu's Suspension has Ended.....
.... stay tuned.
Adamu’s Fifa ban ends.
Former Fifa executive committee member Amos Adamu’s three-year ban from football has expired. The Nigerian was
banned for seeking money in return for voting on the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosting rights. He was filmed
asking undercover reporters for $800,000 and was not allowed to take part in the 2010 votes.
Adamu, who is free to work in football again after the ban ended on Sunday, said: “I can only thank God it is
over. I hold no grudge against anyone.” The bribery scandal three years ago implicated Adamu and five other
officials in corrupt behaviour and plunged Fifa into turmoil weeks before the votes which saw Russia chosen to
host the 2018 World Cup and Qatar selected as the host for the 2022 event. Adamu was filmed in a
sting by a British newspaper, saying he wanted the money paid to him personally so he could finance football
fields in Nigeria.
He was banned for three years by Fifa and failed in two appeals against his sanction. When the Court of
Arbitration for Sport rejected his second appeal and upheld his ban in 2012, a three-member panel at sport’s
highest legal authority said his punishment was “even relatively mild given the seriousness of the offence”.
