FIFA probe puts squeeze on Thai boss

FIFA's ethics watchdog on Monday banned Thai soccer boss Worawi Makudi for 90 days as acting president Issa Hayatou delayed his arrival at the sport's world headquarters by 24 hours.

The ethics committee said it moved to sideline Worawi "on the grounds that a breach of the code of ethics appears to have been committed and a decision on the main issue may not be taken early enough".

Worawi was a member of FIFA's executive committee for 18 years until May - including for its 2010 vote for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups - and has faced multiple allegations of wrongdoing.
