Bin Hammam Barred Entry Into Congress

FIFA'S former presidential candidate Mohamed bin Hammam, temporarily banned over cash-for-votes allegations, was barred entry to the annual congress yesterday.

The Qatari, who withdrew his candidacy shortly before being banned by ethics committee on Sunday, said he would never accept the way in which his name had been tarnished.

"I will never accept how my name and my reputation have been damaged. I will fight for my rights. I thank all the people who have supported me during the last weeks and will support me further," Bin Hammam said.

"Good days bring you happiness, bad days bring you experience."
