FIFA's ethics committee Sunday suspended two men, one of whom had been the sole challenger to the association's president until earlier in the day.

The committee cleared FIFA President Sepp Blatter who, like the other two, had been called into question at Sunday's ethics hearing, which centered on a bribery allegation.

"All charges were dismissed in full" against the Swiss national, who has led FIFA since 1998 and is now set to win another term as the lone contestant in Wednesday's FIFA presidential election, the FIFA statement said.

FIFA Vice President Jack Warner and executive committee member Mohamed Bin Hammam will not be part of the process, following their suspensions Sunday from taking part in any football-related activities.
