Soccer: Fifa bans player over false passport

Fifa have banned an Argentinian player from all matches until June 6 for playing with a false passport.

Fifa say they have extended a ban on Hector Diego Garay to worldwide level.

The move follows a request to Fifa by the French Football Federation.

The Federation had slapped a three-month suspension on Garay for using a fake Italian passport while with Strasbourg last season in order to circumvent limits on the number of players from non-European Union countries eligible to play for French professional teams.

Garay now plays in Argentina for Talleres Cordoba.

Four other players in France also received suspensions for using false papers.

Uefa says it wants to clamp down on clubs fielding players with false passports.
