I'll co-operate with ethics probe, says banned Beckenbauer

Franz Beckenbauer has promised to co-operate with FIFA’s ethics investigations into World Cup bidding and has asked for the provisional ban against him to be lifted.

Beckenbauer, the former German great, was handed a 90-day ban while he is investigated for refusing to co-operate with US attorney Michael Garcia’s probe into bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup, won by Russia and Qatar.
