Four years after stepping down in disgrace, former FIFA vice president Jack Warner was banned from soccer for life on Tuesday for repeated acts of bribery related to World Cup bidding votes. Warner, a long-time ally of President Sepp Blatter who was allowed to resign from FIFA in 2011 with his ''presumption of innocence'' maintained, is currently fighting extradition from Trinidad and Tobago on U.S. charges of racketeering, wire fraud and money-laundering. The decision by the FIFA ethics committee on Tuesday shows that judge Hans-Joachim Eckert will pursue officials long after they have left their jobs.
