CAS rejected Bility's appeal for exclusion from FIFA's presidential race

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) with its headquarters in Lausanne (Switzerland) announced today that the appeal of Musa Bility for the exclusion from FIFA's presidential race was rejected. Former player of Watanga FC (from Monrovia) and now president of Liberia Football Association (FA) Musa Bility complained to CAS after last month (12 November) did not pass the integrity check conducted by the ethics committee of FIFA. Acting president of Liberia FA was then called ineligible for the presidential race without further explanation. Bility has announced his intention to run for presidency in October. 
Bility in 2013 was suspended for 6 months from football after he used confidential documents of the African Football Confederation (CAF) in a dispute with the president of the organization Issa Hayatou. Cameroonian former athlete Hayatou is now serving as active FIFA president 'replacing' Sepp Blatter who is suspended on corruption scandals. This temporarily 'replacement' will come to an end 26 February when new president will be after 'supposedly' all 5 active candidates will face each other on live TV debate scheduled at the end of January.
