Caf bans Liberia FA president

CAIRO — The Confederation of African Football (Caf) fined the Liberian Football Association $10 000 and banned its president for six months on Thursday because he used the minutes from a CAF executive committee meeting without permission.

CAF said the punishment against Hassan Bility was decided at a meeting of its disciplinary board on April 25 after he accessed “confidential documents” without the body’s “prior approval”.

Liberia clashed with Caf’s hierarchy recently after the West African country appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport over election rule changes that appeared to be engineered to favour incumbent Caf president Issa Hayatou by limiting who could challenge him.
