July 3 – The fallout from last year’s cash-for-votes scandal involving Caribbean FIFA members has taken another twist with the news that the Dominica Football Association has voted to bar their President Patrick John for the remainder of his term of office.
In November last year, FIFA banned John from all football activity for two years for his part in the bribery plot involving former Presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam.
John (pictured above) and other Caribbean officials were allegedly offered or received $40,000 (£25,000/€32,000) cash payments during Bin Hammam’s campaign visit to Trinidad and Tobago in exchange for supporting him against Sepp Blatter.
In April, FIFA dismissed an appeal by John and local delegates on the tiny Caribbean island have now voted 24-7 to prevent him participating in any local activities until 2015.
