ZURICH -- FIFA ethics prosecutors want a six-year ban for a former South Africa Football Association president in a long-running case of fixed friendlies played ahead of the 2010 World Cup by the host nation.FIFAs ethics committee said Wednesday that investigators also asked for life bans to be imposed on a Zimbabwean official and a coach from Togo for bribery and corruption.In previous verdicts, four SAFA officials were banned for up to six years for links to fixed 2010 World Cup warm-ups where referees were appointed by Singaporean match-fixer Wilson Raj Perumal.FIFA prosecutors have now recommended sanctions against three more men in final investigation reports sent to ethics judges.They are: former SAFA president Kirsten Nematandani; Jonathan Musavengana of Zimbabwe; and Bana Tchanile of Togo.No timetable was suggested Wednesday for their hearings.Nematandani faces charges which include failure to report suspected corruption, and lack of cooperation with an investigation. FIFA prosecutors also recommended that he is fined 10,000 Swiss francs ($10,400).Tchanile was previously banned in Togo for taking a fake national team to play a friendly in Bahrain in September 2010.That 3-0 win for Bahrain was refereed by Ibrahim Chaibou of Niger, who also handled South Africas 5-0 win over Guatemala in Polokwane in May 2010, less than two weeks before the World Cup opened. South Africas goals included two penalties awarded by Chaibou.Days earlier, all three goals came from penalty kicks in South Africas 2-1 win over Colombia at the re-opening of Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg which would host the World Cup final.FIFA has not specified which games are under suspicion in the case.Officials previously dealt with by FIFAs ethics committee include former SAFA chief executive Leslie Sedibe, who was banned for five years in March.Stitched Rockies Jerseys . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J.

Among a handful of changes announced Wednesday was a clarification that the winning driver of the Sprint Fan Vote must only have a car in raceable condition to advance into the All-Star Race. That counters earlier announcements that said the winner of the fan vote must finish on the lead lap of the Sprint Showdown preliminary race. NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp says the earlier reference to finishing on the lead lap was simply miscommunication on NASCARs part. But fans pounced on the tweak, believing it was to benefit Patrick, who has struggled on intermediate tracks this year but is currently among the top-five vote getters. Its unlikely that the change will affect the outcome. The last two years, all but one of the cars running at the conclusion of the Showdown was on the lead lap. And, barring an accident or a mishap, the format of two 20-lap segments means it would be difficult for Patrick to be lapped based on performance. Patrick, who won the fan vote last year as the most popular driver in the Nationwide Series, is inside the top-five headed into Saturday along with Jeff Burton, Bobby Labonte, Martin Truex Jr. and Michael Waltrip. The top two finishers in the Showdown advance into the $1 million main event, as does the winner of the fan vote. Among other changes announced Wednesday, the qualifying order will be set by random draw because theress no pit crew competition this year to determine the order.dddddddddddd. Time trials will include a total time for three laps, including a four-tire pit stop. New is that there will be no pit-road speed, and the pit crew cannot go over the wall until the car has come to a complete stop. The no speed limit was intriguing to at least one driver. "Wow!! Qual for (at)sprint all star race is going to b exciting!!" tweeted Kyle Busch. "NO pit road speed coming in or going out. Not what I had in mind but ok... ?" The format for the All-Star race was previously announced and basically remains the same at four segments of 20 laps, with an optional pit stop between each segment. NASCAR calls for a mandatory four-tire pit stop before the final 10-lap sprint to the finish. Drivers will enter pit road for the final stop according to their average finish from the first four segments. Thats a change from last year, when drivers entered pit road with the winners of the first four segments at the front of field. The rest of the field entered based on the order of finish from the fourth segment. But the winning drivers from each segment sandbagged the rest of the segments and drove around at the back of the field. NASCAR is trying to eliminate that this year with the entry to pit road order on the final stop. Track owner Bruton Smith has also offered a $1 million bonus to any driver who wins all four segments and the race, making it possible for a driver to win a total of $2 million on Saturday night.
