FIFA may impose World Cup ban on French `Hand Ball' striker Henry | French striker Thierry Henry could miss the start of the World Cup if the FIFA disciplinary panel decides
that his handball in the build-up to France's winning goal against Ireland in Paris last Wednesday night constituted "unsporting behaviour". The Telegraph quoted
a FIFA spokesman, as saying that Henry could yet face punishment should the
commission,
which will meet at some stage in the next two weeks, chooses to study the incident.
Henry, who has called for the game to be replayed, has admitted he handled the
ball before crossing for William Gallas to score, but he is likely to be punished
only if it is thought he deliberately cheated. "The disciplinary commission is
an independent organ. It will decide if the case is of interest. The possibility
exists of sanctioning a player for unsporting behaviour on the basis of video
evidence," the FIFA spokesman said. |
