PARIS, Oct 15: A host of Caribbean football officials were sanctioned on Friday for their role in the now infamous meeting which sparked the downfall of former Asian football supremo Mohamed bin Hammam.



FIFA´s ethics committee handed out suspensions and fines in its latest ruling over the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) meeting held in Trinidad on May 10 and 11 where Bin Hammam was accused of trying to buy votes in the FIFA presidential election.



Qatari Bin Hammam, who has denied all wrong-doing, was eventually banned from the game for life.



On Friday, Franka Pickering, of the British Virgin Islands, was banned for 18 months from taking part in any football-related activity and fined 500 Swiss francs (403 euros).



Jamaica´s Horace Burrell was banned for six months with three suspended while Osiris Guzman of the Dominican Republic was banned for 30 days, 15 of which were suspended, and fined 300 Swiss francs (242 euros).



Ian Hypolite of St. Vincent and the Grenadines was handed a 30-day ban and a 300 Swiss franc fine. Fifteen days of his sanction were suspended.



Aubrey Liburd (British Virgin Islands) and Hillaren Frederick (US Virgin Islands) received a reprimand and a fine of 300 Swiss francs while Anthony Johnson (St. Kitts and Nevis) was reprimanded but not fined.



Other officials were warned over their behaviour.
