Quote :: Former FIFA presidential candidate Mohamed bin Hammam won his appeal against a lifetime ban but failed to clear his name in an election bribery case on Thursday.

The Qatari official scored a victory at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which lifted his life ban from soccer imposed by FIFA for allegedly bribing voters during his election challenge to Sepp Blatter last year.

However, the court panel refused to declare Bin Hammam innocent of corruption. It overturned the ban because a FIFA probe led by former FBI director Louis Freeh's agency failed to find conclusive evidence.
