FIFA suspends arrested officials Juan Angel Napout, Alfredo Hawit for 90 days
The two officials are the latest high-profile names to get banned after Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini earlier.
Zurich: FIFA`s ethics committee on Friday suspended Juan Angel Napout and Alfredo Hawit for 90 days, after the two vice presidents of world football`s governing body were arrested following corruption charges in the US.
"The adjudicatory chamber of the independent Ethics Committee...has today banned two FIFA Vice-Presidents - the President of the South American Football Confederation, Juan Angel Napout, and the President of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football...Alfredo Hawit, from all football-related activities for 90 days," a statement said.
It listed the US indictments unsealed Thursday as "the reason for the ban."
