FIFA bans former Guatemala FA president Brayan Jimenez for life

FIFA today banned Guatemala's former football chief Brayan Jimenez for life over corruption, bribery and other offences, making him the latest former executive thrown out of the sport in disgrace. A statement from the judicial arm of FIFA's ethics committee in Zurich said Jimenez was "banned for life from all football-related activities at national and international level. Jimenez last year pleaded guilty to racketeering and wire fraud conspiracies in a US court after accepting bribes worth several hundred thousand dollars in exchange for media and marketing rights for key matches. He was arrested while drunk in a posh Guatemala City suburb in January of last year and extradited to the United States.
