AFC suspends Guam official who pleaded guilty in U.S. bribery case


(Reuters) - A member of FIFA's audit and compliance committee was handed a provisional 90-day ban from football on Friday, a day after pleading guilty in a U.S court to taking bribes in exchange for using his influence within the global soccer body.

In a further sign of continued problems in FIFA, the organisation's ethics committee said it had opened formal proceedings against the president of the Caribbean Football Union, Gordon Derrick, in an unrelated case.
