ZURICH, Oct 31:FIFA says Mohammed bin Hammam has lost his appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport against a provisional suspension from football while allegations of bribery and financial mismanagement are investigated.



Bin Hammam challenged rulings by FIFA´s judicial bodies to bar him for 90 days. FIFA´s ethics judge, Joachim Eckert, extended that suspension last week for another 45 days.[break]



FIFA prosecutor Michael Garcia and the Asian Football Confederation have ordered probes into how the Qatari official managed the regional body´s accounts while president.



Garcia is also seeking new evidence that bin Hammam bribed Caribbean voters during his election challenge to FIFA President Sepp Blatter last year.



Bin Hammam´s life ban for alleged bribery was lifted by CAS in July.



He claims the FIFA investigations are politically motivated to protect Blatter.
