Thierry Henry avoids handball ban

Thierry Henry has escaped punishment for his handball that effectively knocked out Ireland from the World Cup 2010 qualifiers.

"Handling the ball cannot be regarded as a serious infringement as stipulated in the Fifa disciplinary code," said a Fifa statement.

"There is no other legal text that would allow the committee to impose sanctions for any incidents missed by match officials."
