IOC Enforces 15-Year Ban on Sheikh Ahmad for Ethical Breaches

The ban follows multiple convictions, underscoring the International Olympic Committee's commitment to ethical governance.

Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, a former senior figure in the IOC, faces a 15-year suspension due to serious ethical violations, including forgery.
The decision, effective from July 2023, marks a significant stance against corruption within sports governing bodies.
Previously influential in both the IOC and FIFA, Sheikh Ahmad's fall from grace highlights the stringent ethical expectations for sports officials.
The suspension aligns with his earlier self-suspension and adds to a three-year ban related to misconduct in the Olympic Council of Asia elections.
His ongoing legal challenges include a conviction upheld in 2021 for orchestrating a sham arbitration case, further tarnishing his public image.
