The former president of Turkish club Ankaragucu has been given a lifetime ban from the sport.

Turkey's football federation has decided to hand him the harshest possible punishment.

His club have also been told they must play five home matches behind closed doors and pay a fine.

Faruk Koca, who wanted to become a candidate for mayor of Ankara, punched a referee this week.

He was furious at a late decision that saw his team draw rather than win a game.
