Former Super Eagles star, Samson Siasia, has been given a lifeline by the Court of Arbiteration for Sports (CAS), as his life ban by FIFA has been reduced to five years.
In a release by the sports apex court, the court responded to an appeal by the former national team coach after he was given a life ban from any football related activities for infringement on Article 1 (bribery) on FIFA code of ethics.
CAS ruled that a sanction of life ban was inappropriate for a first offence and thereby reduced the ban to five years.
