From staff writers
June 10, 2008 FOOTBALL's world governing body, FIFA, has overturned the FFA appeals committee's decision on Central Coast Mariners goalkeeper Danny Vukovic, throwing his participation in the Beijing Olympics in extreme doubt.

10 June 2008





Football Federation Australia (FFA) confirms that it has received advice from FIFA today that Central Coast Mariners goalkeeper, Danny Vukovic, is not eligible to play in international competition with effect from 25 February 2008 to 25 January 2009.  The effect of FIFA's decision is to rule him out of the Beijing Olympic Games.




Vukovics suspension arises from a red card (send off) offence at the Hyundai A-League 2008 Grand Final in February this year. 



The ban  imposed by FIFA is suspended from 6 October 2008 to 25 January 2009 subject to no further infringement up to, and including, 25 January 2009.




At the national level Vukovic's sanction continues to apply  to  domestic competition in accordance with the penalty handed down in April by an Independent Appeals Committee comprised of John Sackar QC, Michael Christie SC and former professional player, Jeromy Harris.  The Independent Appeals Committee suspended Vukovic from all games up to 24 June 2008 and from all games from 29 August 2008 25 January 2009 inclusive, with the period from 6 October 2008 25 January 2009 suspended, subject to no further infringement in the period up to, and including 25 January 2009, and also fined Vukovic $10,000.



Under FIFA regulations, FFA is required to refer a player suspension to FIFA in respect of the worldwide effect of the player ban.



FIFAs decision noted that it has the responsibility for determining suspensions to apply to international competitions.  It has a duty to prevent players who have committed a serious infringement and who are suspended from playing in domestic competition from competing in international competition. 



FIFA also noted that  interruption of the suspension  at international level under the sanction imposed by the Independent Appeals Committee  would be contrary to the spirit  of FIFA's  regulations.



Under FIFA regulations both FFA and Danny Vukovic have a right of appeal.



FFA will not appeal FIFAs decision.

How is it a disgrace? Really?

The FFA didn't keep FIFA informed, surely people should have seen something like this coming, the ban as is is completely stupid and was just the FFA trying to push their interests so FIFA have jumped in to stop that.

Apparently you can hit referees in Australia and represent your country. Just ask Joel Griffiths & Danny Vukovic.

it's a joke because, just like the original sentence, there was no carriage of justice in making the decision

danny couldn't plea his case and the people from FIFA who made this decision was not party to all the deliberations or evidence

akin to living in a dictatorship

Really feel for Danny atm.

It's one thing to have your dream of playing in the olympics shattered, but it's another thing to have it rebuilt only to get it shattered again.

Now THAT'S what's really wrong about it - had the FFA have worked with FIFA we wouldn't be in this scenario.
