FIFA previously halted ethics proceedings against one of its officials who'd been caught using his FIFA office to benefit from corruption; the 70-year-old had been diagnosed with colon cancer and guaranteed FIFA he'd never officiate again. However, the ex-official turned state's evidence, resulting in prosecutions that included multiple extradition requests from Switzerland, so FIFA retaliated with the gratuitous step of imposing a lifelong ban against his officiating in national or international soccer events.
Priorities.
