Korean hit with ban for banner

A SOUTH Korean footballer who raised political tensions with Japan by displaying a political sign at the London Olympics after the countries' bronze-medal match was banned for two World Cup qualifying matches yesterday.

FIFA said Park Jong-woo was guilty of unsporting behavior which "cannot be tolerated," and formally warned the Korea Football Association. The International Olympic Committee can now decide if Park will get his medal which has been withheld since the August 10 incident.
