French football chief Noel Le Graet resigns amid sexual harassment investigation

French Football Federation (FFF) boss Noel Le Graet has resigned from his post following allegations of sexual and moral harassment.

Days later, Le Graet was suspended amid allegations of improper conduct, with a subsequent report by the French Sport Ministry concluding he should not be reinstated because his "behavioural excesses are incompatible with the exercise of his functions".
