Striker Thierry Henry will not be punished by Fifa for his handball in France's World Cup finals play-off victory over the Republic of Ireland.
The world governing body's disciplinary committee concluded there was "no legal foundation" to deal with the case.
The Barcelona striker handled the ball twice in the build-up to the decisive extra-time goal from William Gallas.
Only the illegal use of a hand to prevent a goal being scored is covered in relation to possible sanctions.
The decision means the 32-year-old former Arsenal player will not face a ban for any of France's matches in the World Cup finals this summer.
There is more yet it makes depressing reading. Yet again a cheat is allowed to prosper . . . . . .
