(Reuters) - FIFA has appealed to the Swiss Federal Tribunal after sport's highest court CAS annulled a lifetime ban on ex-Haitian football federation president Yves Jean-Bart following allegations of sexual harassment, soccer's governing body said on Monday.

FIFA had investigated the allegations against Jean-Bart by victims, their friends and family members which detailed how he coerced girls into sex by threatening they would lose their places in national team programmes.

However, the following day FIFA banned him for life and fined him one million Swiss francs after finding him guilty of sexually harassing and abusing multiple female players, including minors.
