After a lengthy ban from the Tanzania Football Federation, it appears that Juma Said's career has hit the skids.

The federation has banned Mbeya City captain Said for two years after he was found guilty of engaging in an "act of indecency."

For the second time this season, the defender was penalized for "poking a finger against the backside" of an opponent, according to BBC Sport's Abdinoor Aden.

Said was suspended eight matches for the same infringement upon Simba striker Elias Maguli earlier in the year, compounding his actions during Sept. 27th's tilt with Azam.

He was fined $930 for his display against Azam's John Bocco, and the club has promised to release results of an internal investigation this week.

Said will now be ineligible to play for both club and country for two years, and in the meantime, he's certain to be the butt of many a joke.
