(CNN) -- Mohamed Bin Hammam, the world soccer governing body official suspended Sunday over allegations of corruption, called Monday for FIFA to consider his appeal Tuesday, before the body votes on its next president.

Bin Hammam was the only person running against Sepp Blatter, the head of the organization for the past 13 years.

"I am punished before I am found guilty," Bin Hammam said in a statement Monday, saying he would "not accept" the decision.

FIFA called a surprise press conference Monday, a day after Bin Hammam and Jack Warner were suspended over corruption allegations.

Blatter will be the one holding the press conference Monday. FIFA did not announce what it would be about.

FIFA's ethics committee cleared him of corruption allegations.

FIFA is the body that decides where soccer's quadrennial World Cup will be held, among other responsibilities.

Since his suspension, Warner has been implying that another top FIFA official, Jerome Valcke, believed there was corruption involved in Qatar's successful bid to host the 2022 World Cup.

"He thought he could buy FIFA as they bought the World Cup," Warner claims Valcke said of Bin Hammam. Valcke has not confirmed he made the comment.

Bin Hammam is from Qatar.

The country's football association Monday "categorically denied any wrongdoing" in connection with its bid, and said it was consulting lawyers and "urgently seeking clarification from FIFA" about the alleged Valcke comments.

Valcke is not accused of ethics violations and is not under investigation.

"All charges were dismissed in full" against Blatter, FIFA said Sunday. Blatter, a Swiss national, has led FIFA since 1998 and is now set to win another term.

A statement on FIFA's website said the two suspensions, both effective immediately though the investigation is ongoing were "required (because of) the gravity of the case and the likelihood that an (ethics) breach ... has been committed."

Up through Sunday morning, Bin Hammam had been set to face off against Blatter, having run on a platform of bolstering the sport's "credibility through honesty, transparency and accountability." But he abruptly dropped out, writing early Sunday on his blog, "I cannot allow the (game) that I love to be dragged more and more through the mud, because of competition between two individuals" -- a reference to himself and Blatter.

Later Sunday, Bin Hammam blasted the ethics committee decision, which he said came after it "did not find this evidence sufficient to convict me. Consequently, I should have been given the benefit of the doubt."

"I have been given the impression that the ethics committee is absolutely an independent committee," the Qatari man said on his blog. "But ... we have seen today, General Secretary (Jerome Valcke) made clear that he is the one who has the influence in this committee."

Bin Hammam, 62, was a major influence in Qatar's surprising victory in winning the right to host the 2022 World Cup finals.

But he and Warner became a target for investigation after Chuck Blazer, general secretary of regional football organization CONCACAF, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean, reported possible misdeeds during a May 10 and 11 meeting in Trinidad.

The allegations concerned whether the duo offered cash gifts to national associations in return for pro-Bin Hammam votes in the presidential election.

Bin Hammam has denied any wrongdoing, claiming the allegations are all part of a conspiracy to discredit his bid to become FIFA president. Blatter wrote in his column for the Inside World Football website that he feels it is "ludicrous and completely reprehensible" to suggest he is behind the investigation.

While the Qatari ended his presidential bid Sunday, he did manage to get Blatter questioned at Sunday's hearing, after claiming the FIFA president was also named in evidence handed to the ethics committee.

After the committee cleared him, the 75-year-old Blatter released a statement acknowledging the decisions.

"I do not wish to comment in detail, but simply to say that I regret what has happened in the last few days and weeks. FIFA's image has suffered a great deal as a result," he said.
