ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) — FIFA has banned senior Caribbean football official Horace Burrell for six months for the Jamaican’s part in a bribery conspiracy involving former presidential candidate Mohamed bin Hamamm.

Burrell, a long time ally of former FIFA vice president Jack Warner, must now withdraw his candidacy in the Caribbean Football Union presidential election scheduled next month.

FIFA says three months of the Jamaica Federation president’s ban from all football duties will be deferred for a probationary period of two years.

FIFA also banned one of the most senior women in world football, Franka Pickering, of the British Virgin Islands, for 18 months.

Two more officials received 30-day bans, one was reprimanded and five others received warnings.
