Leonard Chuene, the suspended Athletics South Africa president, has been banned from all sport for seven years.

The South African Sport Confederation and Olympic Committee earlier this week found Chuene, his deputy Kakata Maponyane and board member Simon Dlamini guilty of poor corporate governance, misappropriation of funds and tax evasion.

The trio was given until yesterday to appeal against the verdict, but they failed to do so. Maponyane has been banned for five years, and Dlamini was given a three-year ban.
