AFC general secretary suspended over 'cover up'

Asian football's long-serving general secretary was suspended on Wednesday over cover-up claims dating back to the dark days of disgraced ex-president Mohamed bin Hammam.

Alex Soosay, a former coach and Malaysian international midfielder, was relieved of his duties pending a probe into allegations he tried to hide documents during a 2012 audit.

The move follows the emergence of the videotaped interview of an AFC official who said Soosay asked him to "tamper (with) or hide" documents from investigators.
