Oyogist has learned that former super Eagles Coach, Samson Siasia had his life ban reduced to five years on Monday.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport said a life ban for Samson Siasia was “disproportionate” for a an offense which did not earn him any money.
Siasia got expelled in 2019 for his past links to the notorious Singaporean match-fixer Wilson Perumal.
CAS judges ruled “the imposition of a life ban to be disproportionate for a first offense which was committed passively and which had not had an adverse or immediate effect on football stakeholders,” the court said.
A FIFA fine of 50,000 Swiss francs ($54,000) was overturned “as inappropriate and excessive” because Siasia didn’t profit a dime.
Samson Siasia ban officially expires in August 2024.
