Another FIFA exec sanctioned

Jerome Valcke was banned from soccerrelated activity for 12 years Friday for misconduct during his term as FIFA secretary general. Valcke was found guilty by FIFA’s ethics committee of wide-ranging offences, including taking private jets for personal use, destroying evidence and trying to force through an undervalued sale of television rights. Valcke’s ban is four years longer than the sanctions handed down to FIFA president Blatter and UEFA president Michel Platini. He was also fined $102,500 US.
