Rushwaya has been suspended on allegations of match fixing

The chief executive of the Zimbabwe Football Association has been suspended over match-fixing allegations.

Henrietta Rushwaya is being investigated on betting allegations relating to the national team's tour of the Far East in December.

Zimbabwe lost 6-0 to Syria in Kulala Lumpur and 3-0 to Thailand on the tour.

Rushwaya has denied any wrong doing and says she will co-operate with the investigation while the issue has been referred to world governing body Fifa.

"The decision has been necessitated by alleged acts of mismanagement and the serious irregularities surrounding the national team's trip to Asia in December 2009," the football federation president Cuthbert Dube said in a statement.
