Ah, having studied the report, it seems that Sakho wasn't "ineligible to play" by the rules of the FA Cup (which is how Chesterfield got done), but rather that by FIFA rules, he should have been on international duty. If that's the case, FIFA have no power over the FA Cup, so yes, West Ham will get away with this.
However, it also says that they're not playing Sakho until the case has been sorted, so maybe a bit of a plus point.
