(Reuters) – FIFA’s life ban on former Haitian Football Federation vice-president Rosnick Grant from the sport will be upheld, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said yesterday. Soccer’s world governing body investigated Grant as part of a probe into ex-Haitian football federation president Yves Jean-Bart following allegations of sexual harassment.
FIFA’s Ethics Committee identified Grant as one of the perpetrators of sexual abuse and imposed a life ban on him in 2021.
The fine imposed on Grant was reduced to 35,000 Swiss francs ($38,000), from 100,000 Swiss francs, due to the disproportionate salary conditions he was subject to in Haiti.
Jean-Bart’s life ban was overturned by CAS in February.
