ZURICH: FIFA has handed its former president Sepp Blatter and secretary-general Jérôme Valcke, both of whom are already serving suspensions, additional bans of almost seven years (six years and eight months) from the game and fined them CHF1 million ($1.07 million) each.
The independent ethics committee of world football’s governing body found Blatter and Valcke "guilty of various violations of the FIFA Code of Ethics (FCE)".
