The CAS voted unanimously to clear Dr. Jean-Bart citing “the lack of consistency and inaccuracies in the statements of the victims and witnesses presented by FIFA,” and declared the accusations against him “inconsistent, imprecise, and contradictory.”
“With their decision, I have been fully exonerated by the international Court of Arbitration for Sports,” said Dr. Yves Jean-Bart. “Three years after being falsely accused, I have awaited this day when my honor could be fully restored. I am grateful to God, my family, legal counsel, and all of those stood with me through this difficult process while I defended myself against these baseless, maliciously motivated smears.”
