Last updated on .From the section Sport AfricaTunisia's football federation (FTF) president Wadie Jary has been banned by the country's National Olympic Committee (NOC) for four years. In a statement, the NOC stated that Jary had 'breached national and international Olympic ethics codes'. The Olympic body said it would be forwarding any complaints - which 'do not fall under our jurisdiction' - against Jary to both the International Olympic Committee and Fifa. Given Jary is not a member of Tunisia's NOC and without the country's football teams having qualified for the Olympics, his working life is set to be unaffected. "I didn't know I'm an elite athlete eligible to compete in the upcoming Olympics," Jary wrote on social media in response.
