Drastically reduced punishment

The court of arbitration for sport has reduced sentence of Chung Mong-Joon on 15 months. Initially, an former FIFA vice president was banned from this sport on six years for inappropriate lobbying for his country to get the World Cup in 2022. After winning the appeal in June 2016 this punishment was reduced for one year, but because of insufficient evidence and previously clean record, the tribunal last weekend finally has decided to remove him for 1 year and three months. As the ban started 07 October 2015 and ended on January 2017, the South Korean billionaire can return to everyday football activities. The 66 year old was a presidential candidate for FIFA, however was suspended due to this accusation.
