It was alleged that he was promised employment benefits if he fielded some players under the control of the match-fixer. According to CAS, negotiations between the match-fixer and Siasia about the terms of employment were carried out by email for two months, but negotiation collapsed after the unnamed club failed to accept the former Flying Eagles gaffer’s requests.  53-year-old Siasia who was handed a life ban for accepting to “receive bribes in relation to the manipulation of matches", had however denied the allegation and also appealed the sanction. CAS which announced on Monday June 21 that it has reduced the life ban to 5 years, added that it overturned a fine of $5000 imposed on the former Nigerian striker by FIFA and also backdated the life ban to begin from 16 August 2019. The statement read;</blockquote>
