(Post Today photo)BERLIN: Former Thai football chief Worawi Makudi saw his ban from the sport slightly reduced - to three and a half years from five - on Wednesday after a ruling by world body Fifa's appeal committee. Worawi had received the original ban from Fifa's ethics committee in October 2016. Last year he was declared not guilty of forgery and falsification by an appeals court, but Fifa still maintains there were infringements on their code of ethics. "While reducing the sanction imposed by the adjudicatory chamber of the Ethics Committee, the Appeal Committee agreed with the principles and arguments presented by the adjudicatory chamber."
